The server ISO worked fine for an air-gapped install on non-UEFI hardware. I expect it to fail installing GRUB on UEFI hardware because the grub-efi-amd64 package (and its dependencies?) are not included. I have since stumbled across 1. The *_netinstall.iso (~300 M) installs a minimal base system then downloads additional packages from the Devuan repositories during the installation process. Not to be used for offline installs. in the Devuan Beowulf Install Guide[1]. I guess the guide is serious about the netinstall image *not* to be used for offline installs. [1]: https://beta.devuan.org/os/documentation/install-guides/beowulf/install-devuan Fair enough but it deviates from, oh, a decade or so of previous experience with Debian and Devuan netinst ISO image. There was some mention in the Devuan meeting notes for 2020-03-19 (cannot find it in the devuan-dev ML archives yet) about perhaps "rectifying" this.
