I forget.  I think some 3000 models will halt rather than do the 
autoboot if the keyboard is missing. 

I think they have a mode where you can tell it not to worry about 
a missing keyboard.  If I was trying to find it, I'd do a "show *" 
or something like that and see if I could find something suspicious. 

I think the magic word is "server".  But I don't remember if you 
do a "set server yes" or "set xxx server". 

">>>set xxx foo" will usually give you an error message that tells 
you the valid options for xxx are.
