A stripped down X with only vesa support can be included in the miniroot. However for Indiana at least this is not required. The CDROM is mounted very early in boot so X can be run off CD with forced vesa mode right after the CD has been mounted. So one would see the initial boot messages from the kernel and then in a little while that is replaced with a graphical screen.
