I'll probably do that tomorrow, if the output is not too big to retype ;-)
Meanwhile, I tried moving the video card up one slot, to slot #3.
No go. No picture at all, in fact. The card might as well not be
present.
Serial console still works though and show pci (or whatever) showed the
card correctly in slot #3.
So I tried the set_pci_device_override 0x88c15333 and moved the card
back. (5333 being the vendor ID and 88c1 the product ID). Now we're
again at (and I can copy it verbatim this time)

Illegal device detected on primary bus in physical slot 4
Power down the system and remove the unsupported device from slot 4
with the cursor blinking after the 4.
So, I'll be pulling the card again and before replacing it, switch to
AlphaBIOS for now...
