Sorry I was not clearer. I meant debootstrap installed a base system on
a new disk. 

   # debootstrap --no-check-gpg jessie /mnt/debinst   \
         https://packages.devuan.org/devuan

The host, my currently running machine, runs debootstrap, targetting a
new partitioned disk mounted on /mnt/debinst. I'm assuming debootstrap
can be run anywhere, and it installs a base system wherever it is told
to do it. Years ago I did cross installations, but the process has
gotten a lot more complicated.
