I've got the same machine over here and AFAIK it is not possible to
boot without keyboard and with "normal" serial port.

I tried the same with a modem but couldn't get ppp(userland) oder pppd
working. ppp connects fine but comes out of sync with any server after a
few KBytes while pppd just won't connect (LCP Config Request failure or
so). Did you have any trouble setting up your ISDN adapter?
