Bug Description
The 9.10 DVD has the pae kernel packages on the media. Though the installer has no way to install it.
The proposed way is to have it so that installer can read that the machine has greater then 3Gigs of memory and CPU supports the PAE bit to install the PAE kernel automatically or have an option so it can be installed.

I'll make it do the right thing by default for machines with >3GB of RAM. If you want more control on other machines with less memory than that, you can use expert mode, or preseed base-installer/ kernel/ override- image.
