uhm, in the first post I mention that I'm talking about a 2U rackmount case with a riser card that only allows for 3 PCI cards.Dave Rave wrote:uhm, there is an AGP slot for the video card.

Booting without a video card possible??
I have an old 2U rackmount case that I'd like to put my BP6 into for my home internet server/router. There's only 3 PCI slots on the riser card, and they're taken up with 2 nics and a scsi adapter. Is there some way to make this board boot without a video card present? Thanks in advance
