Normally what you would do is to download the drivers ahead of the switch, switch the hardware, boot to init 3, run the installer and then restart init 5. Now, you could use a text based editor like links or lynx to download them, or put your old video card back for a few minutes, or download them on another comuter and burn a cd, etc.
