Trying to RTFM, but can't seem to find the right FMTR.
I've installed fedora on a dell. I want to unplug the monitor at
least, maybe keyboard and mouse also, and have it still boot. I tried
just unplugging the monitor, but it will not boot that way as
currently configured.
Googling indicates that the bios is the big deal, but my bios doesn't
seem to mention anything about whether or not to expect a monitor or
mouse etc. How do I figure out what bios it uses so I can go to their
web page for more details?
Further, since I used the GUI to set up the machine, it is currently
set up to start X and gnome or whatever on boot. Don't I need to
change something so it won't even try to start all that up? Should I
just tell it to boot to runlevel 1?
Will it talk through the serial port without me nudging it somehow?
I'm sure this must exist somewhere on the net, somehow I am not finding it.
Mahalo in advance for any pointers.

Your bios should have a setting for halt on no errors.
Setting the box bios to halt on no errors will allow for a headless server.
I see this all the time done successfully no matter what the OS is.
