I've used the netinstall ISO and I got this message too, when
installing on AMD Turion dual core with VM server 1.0.3.
In fact, every time I boot the Debian Etch VM, there is this long time
with the message "Checking if this processor honours the WP bit..".
I've installed my VM on a fixed 4GB partition using "Other Linux 32
bits".
