Gateway 2000 Keyboard Error During Power On Self Test

I have just installed a Gateway 2000 computer as a fileserver. During the
power on self test, the computer stops with an error:

No Keyboard Attached, press F1 to continue.

I have not got a keyboard attached, but I really do want to continue to boot
even though there is no keyboard. I could not find an option in the BIOS
settings to not halt on a keyboard error. (BIOS revision 0AAES052.)

I access the computer remotely over the LAN, so no keyboard is required during
normal use. I have a shared keyboard, which I just plug in occasionally during
system maintenance.

Mark.
