  Keyboard error or keyboard not present - press F1 to continue


Yes, that classic bit of stupidity.
The keyboard is not plugged in - what use is pressing F1 on it going to make?
So I plug the keyboard in. All 3 LEDs light up, and that's it. Pressing F1
has no effect. Grrr.

Power cycle.


I have used real machines. Real machines have precisely 2 connectors on the
back - power and network. And they work.
(OK. Pedants will note that realer still machines have multiple power
inputs and multiple network cards, but that's a detail)
