Well, you can't do much without a keyboard. You can't configure the BIOS to ignore errors because you can't hit DEL (or any other config key), and if you could enter the BIOS configuration program, you couldn't set it up. IF you could boot it, still you couldn't type anything at the prompt in order to configure and/or activate SSH or any other tool so you could START the install process remotely.
My advice... Get an AT keyboard or one of those converters that let you plug in a recent keyboard (I have a lot of those, but I'm kinda far away from you).
