You're going to have a problem initializing the card because you won't
be able to execute the BIOS.  Solutions would be to disassemble the
ROM on your particular card and see what it's doing (all cards I've
seen are initialized slightly differently); or perhaps some cool
solution involving an x86 emulator like Bochs.
