I seem to be getting a lot of traffic from people looking for information about Austrumi.
If you are having trouble finding “nt_pass” in the GUI quit looking because its not there. As you boot, before you get to the GUI (xwindows I think), press the space bar then type “nt_pass” (without the quotes) and press enter. You may or may not see the boot prompt as you do this. After you do that you will get a menu instead of the GUI.
Here are some discussion forums for Austrumi.
Another invaluable resource is the Ultimate Boot CD ( windows version here ).
