Hey Nio,

As it turns out, the code used in Jessie does precisely this :D

And, as it were, I already had this code working for stretch.  I
disabled it, however, because I thought that the 686 kernel defaulted to
PAE.

So, I made a bug unintentionally, because I misunderstood Stretch.  This
is great news!  This means Stretch will support the computers we want YAY!!!

So, I am currently rebuilding OBI for Stretch and sometime soon you can:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install obi-installer

And try it out.  I think I fixed all the issues you mentioned in a
decent way.  Mostly I just offer to start the Graphical environment for
the user and restart the install process, or they can exit.

Since it is for advanced users they should be able to figure the rest out.

If you get a chance to check it out it will be this version:

obi-installer - 3.4.0ubuntu0-345~ubuntu18.04.1

Thanks for catching this issue!!
