What type is the MDA?
Since I don't have any agp slot, it has to be a pci card.

What type (pci or agp) does the integrated graphic chip fits in? Could
you tell this from "lspci" (I'm not sitting at the machine in question)?
In the extreme case, would it be possibly to use a serial console to set
everything up and get it to boot althoug it might not know what card to
use, or do you think the bios will refuse any operation at all?
