This is not normal. The boot time should be shorter, but I do not
know what can be wrong with your install.

Your talk about manual partitinoning make me wonder if you started the
expert install or just answered no to automatic partioning. Did you
configure the network as debian-edu expect it? The tjener.intern host
should have 10.0.2.2/23 as its IP setup.
If the installation is slow, it might be an idea to install the
bootchart package and use it to get an idea on where the time is
spent.
I recommend using automatic partitioning when testing debian edu.

Not really, but the automated tests to check if the installation was
successfull assume the automatic partitioning was used and check that
the file systems are ext3.

Using ext3 will get rid of the post-install error about ext2 file
system.
