Actually, having multiply console is more than shell console, as d-i
for PC, there're a few console for log output.
I think it's also benefit for embedded world if we can see the log
output while installing.
And I have no idea what's netboot for. Maybe it's like the old
business card CD image?

I think just let ssh start screen/tmux as shell, then screen/tmux can
start normal d-i in the 1st console.
I also have no idea where to start to change, just need some time to
be familiar with so much projects in d-i.
