Here is the output on real hardware:

On mainboard, rom address for PCI: 00:02.0 = fff00000
PCI Expansion ROM, signature 0xaa55, INIT size 0x10000, data ptr 0x0040
PCI ROM Image, Vendor 8086, Device 3577,
PCI ROM Image,  Class Code 030000, Code Type 00
copying VGA ROM Image from fff00000 to 0xc0000, 0x10000 bytes
Real mode stub @00000500: 434 bytes
Calling Option Rom...
