You're still missing the point - some PCs won't boot if there's no keyboard
or monitor (I don't know of one that can't boot if it doesn't have a
mouse).  It would have been more obvious if Noop hadn't even mentioned VNC. 
It's BIOS dependent, so I don't think it's even something that Linux can
fix.
