Your graphics card option rom tries to output 3 lines of text, most
likely. See Ralph Brown's Interrupt List on INT 10h.

It's the same subroutine within the graphics card option rom, yes.

It's "instruction pointer". 

> Is testbios faster with given ip.

No, the correct IP is automatically chosen. This is only needed for
non-PCI option roms. Specifying something else than the default will
not even work.
