Yup, F6 is the magic key. Windows XP does this also, of course i'm not quite sure what happens if the machine doesn't have a floppy drive... and/or you don't have the drivers on a floppy. Then, Windows is supposed to be easy to install ;)
There is actually a process where you can slipstream the correct SCSI drivers into the installation media. Of course in most cases it is easier to just (even just for the purposes of the installation) plug in a floppy. Although I have in the past encountered SCSI drivers that wouldn't fit on a floppy.
Actually slipstreaming installation disks has always fascinated me, on one hand they tell you not to make copies of the installation media, on the other they endorse (and provide the tools) to make your own slipstream installation disks.
But yes you are right it's always something I bring up when somebody complains about how hard Linux is to install
