Splash page problem

How can we allow the Google spider to get beyond our splash page?

When a user attempts to access our website, www.sheetmusicdirect.com, the application checks whether they have the SMD country cookie set to one of 3 possible regional values (soon to become hundreds of possible values as we are switching to real countries). If they do not, the application redirects them to a splash page with a drop down form. Currently Javascript sumbits this form and passes the cookie value to the browser. The user is redirected to the desired page, or if none was specified, to the home page.

The question is, how do we ensure that spiders can get into our site and crawl individual pages there?
