this hit ESC at the first welcome screen and confirm with ENTER. You will be
presented with a black screen with the word "boot:". Type "text" and hit
ENTER. Now continue with the installation in text mode.

available RAM incorrectly. To specify this manually, you can use the
<code class="code">mem=xxxM</code> parameter, where xxx is the correct amount of
RAM. e.g. <code class="code">mem=256M</code> would specify 256MB of RAM.
