Equipment:  Older P4 3.00Ghz running wheezy.

I've got a nasty little problem here this morning... My debian box
will not show anything on the monitor.  I fear the graphics card has
gone south... I have one side off the box so removed the card and
reinserted hoping it might fix things.. of course it did not.

Now the bios is being invoked on bootup  (I think).  

I suspected it may be a dialog I've seen where user is prompted to
either hit del for the bios or any key to continue... I cannot see any
of this but am just guessing.

I tried just hitting a key but the OS or at least the networking part
never became accessable... So I'm pretty sure its hung at the bios.

Is there any way to bypass the bios or get beyond that somehow..
Just anything to get the OS running so I can ssh in and salvage my
data?
