I disagree that screen support for i386 in unnecessary. There are rather popular x86 boards which only have a serial console and no VGA, e.g.: http://www.pcengines.ch/alix3d2.htm (actually all but two models on http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm) http://www.pcengines.ch/apu.htm http://www.pcengines.ch/apu2b2.htm So I think adding screen support to D-I on at least i386, too, would add some value.
