I know you can do this to boot without a monitor (fake the video
card into thinking there is a monitor installed). But I want to
boot without even a video card. Sounds wierd, but this machine is
destined to become a firewall and/or gateway, so it really doesn't
need a video card at all. Logging in over the network or serial
line is all I need.
