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". > Anyone has any idea on why this is happening.
