Ok, I can load the driver now; No errors from the vbios loading.
I copied the vbios.rom into /lib/firmware and used
"modprobe nouveau config=NvBios=vbios.rom"
This worked fine on the console, I had some problems starting X, but I need
rebuild xorg and related stuff.
As this is not related to loading the vbios i think we can close this bug as a
proper way to load the vbios exists without need using Grub/bootloader.</pre>
