I forget. I think some 3000 models will halt rather than do the
autoboot if the keyboard is missing.
I think they have a mode where you can tell it not to worry about
a missing keyboard. If I was trying to find it, I'd do a "show *"
or something like that and see if I could find something suspicious.
I think the magic word is "server". But I don't remember if you
do a "set server yes" or "set xxx server".
">>>set xxx foo" will usually give you an error message that tells
you the valid options for xxx are.
