Dell servers seem to be wonky about this sort of thing (older ones would not boot without a keyboard installed, even if they were esentually 'headless'). I am not sure how to deal with this. It seems to be a Dell-specific BIOS hack of some sort (and a *dumb* one at that).
This is not a "Dell-specific BIOS hack". Dear child, ask your folks about PCs. I think it was only this decade that PCs would actually boot *without* a keyboard. EVERY PC EVER MADE before would not.
