I have not been able to use UnetBootin with the latest versions. Like
Daniel, i suspect these may be related to using UnetBootin. Try with dd
command:

dd if=*.iso of=/dev/sdX (without the number of the partition, for
example, sdb instead of sdb1)

Type "fdisk -l" to get sdX. Just in case, first do it hybrid:

isohybrid devuan*.iso

You need to install syslinux and syslinux-utils.

Aitor.
