Where exactly should I set this option?
I tried pass it as a kernel parameter from grub, which did not work.
Then i blacklisted nouveau, and tried to load it after the system booted
But this always tells me:

laptop ~ # modprobe nouveau nouveau.NvBios='/boot/vbios.rom'
[   86.004292] nouveau: `/boot/vbios.rom' invalid for parameter
`nouveau.NvBios'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nouveau': Invalid argument
laptop ~ # modprobe nouveau NvBios='/boot/vbios.rom'
[   92.214318] nouveau: `/boot/vbios.rom' invalid for parameter `NvBios'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nouveau': Invalid argument


This is on kernel 3.10.7 (gentoo sources) and greping trough the source i see
that the option exists.
Do i need try linux for workgroup (aka 3.11)?

Im lost a little bit here.
