One way is to add

*
* don't care about kbd
set abort_enable=0
*

to your /etc/system file.

Btw, this question's been asked multiple times.
Think about consulting google before posting.

Strange, I never eyperienced any problems after setting this parameter.
Are you sure your system boots *with* the keyboard attached ?

Anyway, as mentioned earlier, a little googling would have given you
another hint:

+++++
Halt the system and at the "{1} ok" prompt, type the following:

{1} ok setenv input-device ttya
input-device = ttya
{1} ok reset

The system will begin to boot, so remove the keyboard.
+++++

However, you will have to reset this if you're planning to reuse the
keyboard.

Martin
