If you are lucky, then all you have to do, is play around with the
BIOS configurations of your machine and/or with the configuration of
your PCI card. Try reconfiguring the PCI card, so that the ROM is
mapped to a different location. For your tests, you should also remove 
all other plugin cards that you do not need for getting the machine up.

If you have bad luck, then your mainboard does not map any ROM on PCI
cards :-(
