I've updated that page with some more information. For one the
grub2 shell input to boot amd64 from Russel and my steps on how to
finish a i386 based installation with grub-legacy.
That actually brings me up to a booting and working XFCE installation
with X and all the glitter.

Russel, I believe what you're missing on your installation to get X
working is just an
apt install firmware-linux-nonfree
That depends on some firmware package for the AMD/ATI GPU.
The required firmware for the ralink wlan ship is installed by
default if you based on your install on the non-free netinstall
images.
Otherwise also
apt install firmware-misc-nonfree
via a cable connection.
