The older adaptec cards can do that too - I have done this on my
adaptec 1542.  I think the entry point is dc00:3 or dc00:5 cannot
remember which, oh yeah if you have moved the bios address from the
default then replace the dc00 with the correct address.

The newer cards allow you to press a key on boot.
