Stay away from Linksys Proconnect switches. They are
crap. I have three computers hooked up to a four port
switch. Once everything is running it works just
fine, but booting from a total shutdown is a pain:
the kvm won't recognize the keyboard unless you power
up the switch at exactly the right

Talking from experience, you might damage your mb though it is not
likely. The only one I've "managed "to fry this way was a

You might look on ebay or something like that, I was lucky, a friend decided
he was going to upgrade his and gave me a 6 port KVM. To help you find one
here is the info:
BELKIN Omni View (model F1D065)
This is an AT/Serial type KVM but adaptors can be purchased for a couple of
dollars to plug
You might want to take a look in the bios settings, usally the advanced
settings, I know some IBM systems offer a way to allow you to boot without
kbd/monitor (I have 4 that allow this).

He means that unplugging the keyboard with the power on can cause damage.
He's right, though I have never personally seen it happen.

As new Dreamcast games are rather scarce these days, it has been given
the great honor of running Potato. :) I've been thinking about setting

Your BIOS should allow you to boot without a keyboard or mouse. My mail
server is a P133 Potato system with nothing plugged into it but a
network cable and a power cable. Been working fine for a few months now.

Is it a function of the hardware bios or the OS to be able to boot without a
keyboard or mouse? I have a Debian Potato system that is up and running. I
want to be able to boot the system with no keyboard or mouse plugged in. I
SSH to it when I need to check it or do anything.
