How do I get gentoo to boot with no mouse keyboard or monitor?

you can physicaly remove them.... and then push the power button... and then if you need to access teh computer use ssh

Well its a pain in the ass to go get a mouse from upstairs to reboot the computer when the power goes out...Also if the power goes out when im not thome it won't boot up and server will be down for a while.

What are the errors you get when you boot without a mouse?

On slackware it used to repeat crap down the screen real fast and I couldnt see it. On gentoo live cd and when its installed to the hdd the screen just goes blank.

hmmm that is weird i have 4 puters headless and no kb or mouse on them and they boot fine

well, if you really need to you can always get a really cheap mouse and just have it plugged in doing nothing

i do that with a keyboard since i use a usb one most of the time but my motherboard doesn't find it....so i have a normal ps/2 keyboard plugged in doing nothing and hiding in the back of it
