I had a (somewhat) similar problem the other night. Took my system in to
school to show the student what a "Real" OS looked liked. Of course,
Dickhead here forgot to plug in the (PS/2) mouse. ;>

Result, no boot!

(Set to boot to runlevel 3)
Other result - teacher look like idiot
Third result - teacher turns it into a test to see who can figure out
the problem?
Fourth result - As always, Teacher wins!!!
Damn! I just love a story with a happy ending!

To get  back to the subject, If you try to boot without mouse support,
boot will fail! (if booting into any X-server),(never had a boot-single
need, so I can't comment on that!)
