question about keyboard port

[tony5429]

i'm running a linux server off an old p2. i use the putty ssl client to access my system remotely so i dont need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse on the computer. however, if the power goes out and the computer reboots, the bios requires a keyboard for the boot-up process to complete. i know there is a way to bridge two of the pins on the ps2 port off the motherboard, to trick the computer into thinking there is a keyboard plugged in but i don't know which two pins they are. can anyone help??

Cool, I would've just gotten a cheapo keyboard and left it plugged in. This is helpful.

i gutted a keyboard, and ductaped the board part to the back of the case out of the way(kb came from trash, missing half keys)
