Hi folks, had no problem with this install on the previous version of vb, tried it today with the new version on my work desktop but no dice.
Hint enter on the install screen and nothing. Could tab to get the boot options displayed but then could not hit enter. Using mac ox 10.9 mavericks. Reinstalled 4.2.20 and all is fine.

You should hit Enter on the other window.

Hitting enter does not the start the install process - no matter when it is hit. The behaviour is completely different with 4.2.20.

Can you please tell me the name of the installation .iso? For example, debian-7.2.0-ia64-netinst.iso. Also can you post a VBox.log from the installation attempt itself? I suspect that the Enter key works but the installation freezes as soon as you press Enter, and it's got to do with the bitness of the installation in combination with your physical hardware...
