I have a fileserver with removeable drives. There is no monitor or keyboard attached to it, it's in a different room. I connect to it remotely via VNC. That's been working great. I powered it down, swapped out some drives, and it hung on the reboot. I shut that down, and removed the drives. Now, it boots up but it always goes into the bios by default after a failed boot. Normally (if it was connected to a monitor and keyboard) you F10, exit, and it then boots up fine.
But, in the current state with no kb/monitor, is there anything that can be done to get it to NOT go into the bios mode? Really, the only choices are anything to do with power - unplug the actual power supply instead of just powering down, anything like that? Only reason I ask is, when this happened last night I FORGOT that this box is also now the print server, and the only way for my wife to print out some proposals is through this box. And I'm not at home, to fix it, etc. etc. So really, if you could provide an answer, you would keep me in good graces with the Mrs.!
Long term, there must be some setting to stop it from going into bios after a failed reboot. I shoulda fixed it last night....
