In older days (a few generations of PC ago) there used to be a BIOS setting where you could tell it to ignore keyboard errors. You would enable that feature if you wanted to run the computer without a keyboard. I haven't looked to see if such a feature still exists in modern day BIOS but I don't see why they would have removed the option unless it will ignore keyboard errors automatically.
I have 4 computers here, one with a year old motherboard. 3 of them can run headless and the other, an old Compaq, I just leave an old keyboard plugged in, but still access it via KVM. Like I said, check the settings.
