 Second, I am getting hit with a blinking screen even in
 virtual terminals on a quantal amd64 server build. Terminal
 is an ADI ProVista attached to a KVM.

 Eventually the screen seems to go to sleep and I cannot
 get it to ever come back.

 I have modified /etc/default/grub to get

 # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
 GRUB_TERMINAL=console

 which I assumed would shut off any graphical silliness,
 but it seems to have had no affect.

Try GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text.

 As noted in the bug report dselect does not work with multi-arch.
 
 Either write patches to dselect to make it support multi-arch, or
 disable multi-arch, or use a different package management tool.
 Each of these proposals has advantages  drawbacks. The first one is
 universally best, but requires significant technical work. The latter
 two, are compromises one way or another.

How and where do I disable multi-arch?

Depending on which release you are on, use either first or second answer:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/66875/how-to-disable-multiarch-support

Please use google first next time.

Dmitrijs.

The file named in the first method did not exist; however the
second method worked nicely. 

# dpkg -l | grep i386
# dpkg --remove-architecture i386

There were no i386 files to remove.

Thank you for the link.
