Which kind of display are you using?

Could you try to press "esc", "enter" or "tab" when you are in front of
the black screen?

Lenny installer now displays a graphical menu which might be
incompatible with some displays.  See:
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s01.html#boot-screen

One of the possible thing we could do is to ship a variant of
pxelinux.cfg that would not use the graphical menu… but I wonder if it
would really worth it.

Cheers,
