Hello Jude,

I am confused now about your comment that we can "install any/all device
managers and pick one that gets started at boot-time via the
alternatives system".

I initially thought that vdev requires udev or any other device managers
to work. But since you added the command to disable udev on
https://github.com/jcnelson/vdev/blob/master/INSTALL.md, I followed that
and I got the impression that vdev will replace udev.

However, either any of those has no affect at the moment as vdev's init
still fails to mount the root file system, so it does not touch
/sbin/init yet.

Yes. Perhaps it is better to start with vdev for amd64 first. I think
that would speed up differentiating Devuan from Debian, so that will not
be only for me. Probably not for the initial release of Devuan, but
later on after vdev is stable.

In regards to the deb package of vdev, I have to test it on a real test
PC to be safe, instead of on my "current test machine" which is the PC
that I am using for writing this email.

Cheers,

Anto
