The voodoo1 and voodoo2 should work - they are not VGA devices and don't
have any compatibility vga gunk on them at all. You will need the voodoo
frame buffer and/or X server driver, neither of which needs BIOS support.
There is no 3D support on them as I could never be bothered to write the
3D engine bootstrap code.
