adbreinit happens right before you see the ADB devices listed, so if
you move it before you see them, or the "using XXX series hardware
support" message, then it's before, otherwise it's after.

FYI: I was able to get my Q610 (II style ADB) booted last night
without incident dispite banging on the keyboard and wildly moving my
mouse around. So maybe it's not specific to certain hardware versions,
since Hauke's is a Q700 (II style ADB) and his fails. (My machine may
not be a good datapoint, though, as it's a cranked up 33 (not 25) MHz
Q610)

I'll see if I can look into improving it some this weekend if I can
recover from the food shock (Thanksgiving) and the work shock (AOL
deal).

Later,
