I don't know where this menu option occurs, but it is after the initial
boot phase; i.e., after you have booted the system without the debian
CD. It sounds like you are not there yet.

At what point does it hang?
By the way, you can visit a console and also several logs by pressing
alt-right and alt-left, or alt-F1 through alt-F4. Those will probably
reveal the source of the problem. It may even be possible to simply
kill the offending installation process and continue. I can't tell you
how, though, without more information.
