[SunHELP] Removing the keyboard...

[Ivan Kovalev]

As root, before unplugging keyboard:
kbd -a disable

Make note, Stop-A sequence will not work after this.

use 
kbd -a enable 
to bring it back to default behavior (halt the machine if keyboard
unplugged).

If you want this setting permanently, edit /etc/default/kbd, uncomment
line KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable and then command 
kbd -i
to read this file in.
