This is a known bug and has been discussed many times here and
elsewhere. When you get to the first linux prompt type in some nonsense
like "hgjksdk" or "voodoo" and press enter.  you will get an error but
now try your install, things should work.

FYI looking at the archives or google can often find the answer for you
along with the whole discussion as to what is happening.
