Hi Eric,
Great, thank for the testing!

So the pause is definitely EDD-related, and it doesn't happen when you
boot the squeeze kernel from your hard disk, right? If so, then this
looks much like a BIOS oddity.
To everybody: I wonder why edd=off isn't the default in the installer,
does d-i load the edd module and use the info it provides? Apart from
this the issue seems unrelated to the Debian Installer.
