Lifebook N3010 needs BIOS and OS configuration, but no keyboard

Hi, I have a Fujitsu Lifebook N3010, but the keyboard died long ago. The computer is not worth buying an OEM keyboard.
Is there a way to access the BIOS and load an operating system without the keyboard? I'm thinking no way.
Does anyone know of a compatible (and cheap) keyboard that can simply be used to configure the BIOS and load an operating system?
Once loaded and configured, I can use a USB keyboard for everyday use.
Thanks, Bill
 
...if you're looking for a keyboard to configure the bios anyway, just buy one now...

No, you can't access the bios without a keyboard.
