Just one more querry I installed the i386 netinstall etch same kernel

I would assume d-i uses /proc/cpuinfo to determine the "best" kernel
for
your particular CPU.

And actual 80386 chips haven't been supported in a few years.
Something about libc6 needing i486 instructions to support C++, I think.
