Boot without keyboard, mouse and monitor

[kelvinfix]

Can I boot without keyboard, mouse and monitor? I tried but it won't boot. Anyone have any idea?

How can I remove the splash screen, 10 seconds automatically boot? I just want to have it boot into a terminal.

How to change them in the grub.conf?

[CSchwangler]

Either in /etc/inittab change the value 5 to 3. Or add 3 to the kernel line in grub.

I have change the inittab. Still the same problem.

This is my grub.config

default=0
splashimage=/EFI/boot/splash.xpm.gz
timeout 10
hiddenmenu

I added nomodeset
to the kernel /EFI/boot/vmlinuz0 root=live:LABEL=Fedora-12-i686-Live rootfstype=auto rw liveimg overlay=UUID=000B-18C1 overlay=UUID=1C72-CBCA quiet rhgb nomodeset


still not working.

Get rid of quit and put in text.

Change timeout from 10 to 3-5 sec. Remove quiet and rhgb - this will make it boot faster and follow CSchwangler's advice and change runlevel to 3 (the boots only command line).

[kelvinfix]

I remove queit and rhgb, not working without monitor mouse and keyboard.

Is your BIOS configured to boot without keyboard?
(I assume it is at present)

After that, it doesn't matter what is in the grub configuration as long as there
is a timeout (even if 0, which can make fixing some errors harder).

The system will come up. The references to initmode 3
are to disable the default of starting X (initmode 5). This is set in the file
/etc/inittab (change the line "id:5:initdefault" to "id:3:initdefault").
