How can I start up/boot up an iMac without having the keyboard connected. When I try I get an error message. I want to use iMac as display only.

Any AppleScript or Terminal command?

Thanks

What's the error message? AFAIK it shouldn't be a problem. Also, what model iMacc, and what OS version are you using?

What's the error message? What kind of iMac is it?
 
The error message I got was "Could not find wireless keyboard", so it looks like that it is looking for the wireless keyboard, because it could not find the other one. Is there a way to disable this?

G5 OSX 10.4 (newest model)

Thanks

Using a *wired* usb keyboard and mouse, disable any bluetooth wireless keyboards and mice in the Bluetooth panel of System Preferences. You could even turn off bluetooth power in the same panel.
