Vyatta 6.3 / Debian Squeeze / Intel

I kept getting this edd=off error when trying to install Vyatta 6.3, which is based on Debian Squeeze, on an Intel Atom board, the BOXD525NM - you can hit the link for the BIOS. And that's in the end what the problem was - the factory BIOS was just having a fit with Squeeze - so updating the BIOS to the latest fixed it and the world was happy again :-)
