As was said earlier, it is common for the video card to have its own BIOS for bringing up screens in text mode, etc. It's also common that SCSI cards have their own BIOS for configuration, booting from devices, etc. The same applies to RAID controllers. Even many ethernet adapters have their own BIOS for PXE boot, as well as general operating firmware (hence the recent issues with Intel E1000s being bricked by pre-release kernels). Most non-trivial devices now have some firmware which must either be loaded by the driver or stored in NVRAM.
