Before also trying to swap out the video card for another (simpler) one,
you might get things working with the "tecra" bootdisks that are in a
subdirectory of the directory where you find the normal bootdisks.
This has something to do with the kernel being a zImage vs. a bzImage. I
can't explain you what the difference is though.
Please tell us what the brand and type of your motherboard is and what
bios it has (including version.)
If you cannot find any way to get your machine to boot from the rescue
floppy, someone may be willing to brew a kernel tailored to your specific
hardware.
Cheers,
Joost
