Unless I'm missing something, it does work for me with something like:
-nographic -cdrom *.iso -kernel kernel-path -append
"console=ttyS0,115200n8 ..."
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
That is exactly what I'm doing! :)
(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.
Okay, you want something working out of the box but note that what you
want is already possible if you use the proper arguments.
Hope this clarifies the report.
I did get what you were complaning about, I was simply providing a
workaround to get you going.

Again it is working if you specify the kernel boot parameter that Debian
requires.
