Is it a genuine Mac Edition? This should show boot screens on all ports.
If it's flashed (=> the enclosure isn't white) this will happen with non-reference port layout cards.

Do you connect all monitors at the same time?

My Mac is working hard at this moment, I may need 1 or 2 more days to let it finish the job before I can reboot and test the HDMI port.

Anyway, from memory, when I plug my TV into the Mac Pro via the HDMI port with no other monitor connected (my card is also the genuine Mac Edition card), I get the boot screen.

But I am not sure if I get boot screen when multiple monitors connected.

Tech support is saying there is another "smaller" switch somewhere else in addition to the efi/bios switch on the side of the card. I only know of one switch.

is this true?

No, there is only one switch. I couldn't see any other smaller switch that is accessible to user.
