It's my understanding Linux ignores bios entirely and gets its work done
by other means. On Tue, 26 Apr 2016, Juan R. de Silva wrote:

On my desktop I still use and old keyboard with PS/2 connector.
My mouse an USB one, so the mouse PS/2 port on motherboard remains free.
A couple of days ago I had to reconnect my keyboard to motherboard. I was
doing it in hurry and in the dark, just to the touch.
A day later while restarting the machine I was surprised by message from
BIOS:"No keyboard detected." However, when started, Debian had no trouble
with my keyboard. It was fully functional.
Today I had a minute to pull out my desktop tower and found that I
mistakenly plugged keyboard connector into the mouse PS/2 port.
I wish to see Windows trying to swallow this. :-) Or I am outdated on
Windows skills, am I?
