On block 52 are definitions of "ati" and "nvidia"
they store a literal to "vesa"
"vesa" on the command line of my system returns 4001ac2
ati stores 10cd4123 to vesa and nvidia stores 10cd4118

if you have access to a command line, even if the display
is black, you can try "floppy " to load 52
"ati save warm "  or "nvidia save warm " and see if it helps

I have to do that when running off floppies and
switching between a desktop machine at work and a
desktop machine at home.
