Yeah, but sometimes making the assumption that things are identical is 
the cause of lots of grief.

Maybe its <F4> or <F3>, but its something you have to do to interupt NT 
install in order to insert proper drivers for the Adaptec subsystem 
else if one waits for NT to *ask* for device drivers then its too late. 
While NT is capable of loading these device drivers from alternate
sources during install its too stupid to ask for them until after its
too late to actually use them to perform the install.

As a result I had FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE running on my P2B-S about a week 
before NT.
