You just need to change the input+output device. If you boot the box up
without a keyboard, it automatically changes both its input and output
device to ttya, which is the first serial port.
So, then, you just need to connect another box to the serial console
and then run a "serial communication program" like minicom.
If you boot up the box using a tftp (net) boot, or a Cd, or floppies or
a tape ;), is another issue that doesn't have to do with you don't
having a keyboard.
