Just to simplify the first screen. User has to pres TAB to see a full
list of options, which is: install, expert, rescue, auto, install32,
expert32, rescue32 and auto32.

When booted on a 64-bit machine the first presented screen looks like:

=====================================================================
 Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux wheezy!

 This is a Debian installation CDROM,
 built on 20120617-18:20.

 Enter one of the following options to begin:

 install     64-bit processor (G5 or POWER3/4/5/6/7)
 install32   32-bit processor (G4 or earlier)

 Press TAB for a full list of options.

 If the system fails to boot with a white screen
 which doesn't go away, add 'video=ofonly'.
