It should be after that... tell it you don't have a driver disc, and
it should ask you about your hardware, what driver you want to load
for each thing. I haven't done this in a while, perhaps they changed
it for 7.2? :(

yeah, I think you might be able to alt up arrow or the like, but not
much...

at alt-f2 should be a shell prompt, you can try doing an 'lsmod' there
and confirm that the megaraid.o module is loaded.
