Whether or not a box will boot without a keyboard is a function of the
firmware/bios of the box. Typically there's a bios/setup selection option
called "Halt On Error?", with choices of "All" or "All except keyboard".
The former will prevent the box from booting if no keyboard is detected
while the latter will not.

Linux does not care.
