What is the make/model of this system? I have yet to touch a system (PC-based) that does not allow access to BIOS.

I have a set of systems that I have to build that cannot be booted from CD. So I put the drive in another system, do the install, move the drive, and fix the video with system-config-display.
But seems perhaps there is another (small) problem. The build system has a PS/2 keyboard interface (and mouse). The target system has NO PS/2 interfaces. Only USB is available.
So at boot I get the message:
atkbd.c: Failed to enable keyboard on isa0060/serio0
What do I do to remove this?
There does exist a USB -> PS/2 adapter. See if you can procure one (colleague, store, etc) . Times like these they really come in handy.
I have 1/2 dozen of them. And I get this message when I have one plugged into the unit and the adapter plugged into my old PS/2 based KVM.
You should also review the BIOS options for USB Emulation mode. If it is off, you should turn it on.
And this system does not give access to the BIOS! There is a lot I would like to do with the BIOS, like get it to boot automatically at power restore.
There is no intention that in production, the units will have a keyboard or mouse. All management will be done via some remote console program (using VNC for right now). But I have to do the install on a PS/2 based system. Would like to cut out what is not needed....
