Which I didn't do. Untill I fixed it, that is. And once I have, this is the
third time on this clone machine that I rebooted. And also I repeated the
entire procedure on my Air-Gapped machine, since the clone is expendable,
permanent in my method is what I install in the, later cloned, Air-Gapped
master machine...

And my Air-Gapped I also rebooted just fine.

So very likely!

Because I had updated (weeks and weeks ago now) my, originally, Jessie RC2, to
stretch, in Air-Gapped, to get FFmpeg and MPlayer/Mencoder, and because I
couldn't figure how to do Air-Gapping in Devuan (which I do know how now).

But it has all been solved by now. In the gap btwn my message and when you send
the message, I was right somewhere there figuring out the solution, and now,
you can see my message where I (manually construing a quote) explain:

and state that I expect to reboot without problems.

Thanks for caring! (And I hope to become a more useful
Devuan/and-more-generally-FOSS tester some day... In *slow* time... Well I have
already been, but marginally so.)
