Most systems I've seen boot fine without a display card. On some of 
them, you have to have a display card installed at some stage though, 
and then you have to choose to disable it from the bios. Some boards 
have jumpers you have to select to enable booting without display card.

PS: HTML posting and top-posting is evil :)
