Typically, the BIOS will test the keyboard at power-on - if it's missing 
or faulty, it then stops the bootup waiting for user acknowledgement (the 
infamous "Keyboard error - press F1 to continue"). You can usually disable 
this in the BIOS setup, which of course requires a keyboard and monitor...

Try just plugging in a keyboard - that may well fix it.
