I have not tried that yet, but I will.

I used the kernel from the latest sid-amd64-netinst.iso. I am a little
confused about your questions: when you refer to D-I do you mean the
i386 D-I? I mean the amd64 port installation is also based on the new
D-I (?), sorry for being slow.

Again, if you mean the Debian Installer for i386, I have not yet tried
it with my new Shuttle.
