Whether you get anything but a blank screen IS dependent on NVRAM settings.
Even an Onyx with RE2 or IR graphics will show a blank screen if the NVRAM
setting is not set for graphics.

(If I remember correctly, you get black screen if its set to serial
even
w/ graphics boards in one.)
No, you still get something initially.
You might try pulling the graphics adapters out,
unplugging the
keyboard, and hooking up a serial console.
You don't need to remove the graphics adaptor on an Indy or later
machines, and I wouldn't recommend doing so.
