How to press F1 for BIOS without keyboard (PS/2 port broken)

Question

A friend of mine has an old PC on which the PS/2 port is broken. After resetting the BIOS a "Press F1 to continue" prompt has blocked us from keep going.

The PS/2 port is broken and the USB ports are disabled after the BIOS reset.

Are there any solutions except buying a new motherboard?

Though the onboard USB is disabled, what about an USB addon card? — kobaltz, May 14 '12 at 20:37

Try a PCI PS/2 card. Only ~$10 on eBay. Definitely cheaper than getting a new motherboard.
