Buy a keyboard?  I run 10 computers in my house and own 4 keyboards--and 
2 of the keyboards are typically not connected to machines.  I'm 
assuming your Myth box is running on a Linux-based system, right?  Linux 
isn't Windows--i.e. you don't have to plug a keyboard into it...

If you happen to need a keyboard for a while, there's this wire on the 
back of many keyboards.  If you follow it away from the keyboard, it 
will end at your computer, where a gentle pull will disconnect the 
keyboard from the computer.  Reverse the process on your new frontend 
and you have a temporary keyboard.  Then, when you've done the "needs a 
keyboard" work, disconnect from your frontend and reconnect to the 
"donor" system.  ;)
