This does not start the Debian installer. The issue reported is that the grub shipping with DI does not output to serial console and hence can't be used with "-nographic". It's maybe that the same issue is faced when installing on hardware with no display but I have not confirmed this. The aim is to be able to install debian in a VM using the iso images (e.g. [0]) without requiring graphical UI. This is already possible when using arm64 and armhf DI images but seems to be missing some configuration in the installer for x86_64. Hope this clarifies the report.
