[ubuntu-uk] PS/2 port detection

[David King]

I don't know the answer to your question, but that old error message "no 
keyboard detected, press F1 to continue" is one of my old favourites 
from years ago in the old days of DOS-based 286 PCs.

I still wonder why anyone thought that error message made sense when 
they put it into the BIOS.
