It's a bit harder to boot into VESA-only from the LiveCD now. If you can't run a virtual machine or something, I think your best bet would be to add the "nomodeset" kernel parameter at the boot menu, then play with /etc/X11/xorg.conf once booted to force the vesa driver to be used. (See my description in bug 586446 for how I reproduced it.)
