Please, try the same process using:

http://mirrors.gnuinos.org
<http://mirrors.gnuinos.org/?dir=DEVUAN-BASED%20IMAGES>

It is based on devuan, but the installers are different. Devuan installs
all the *.deb packages in the target; while gnuinos mounts the
filesystem.squashfs on it. Before compiling the content of the chroot
jail with the final porpuse of getting the squashfs file, i always
remove /etc/fstab from the jail. If i don't remove it, the personal home
folder of the user doesn't be created (i don't know the reason why). I
always do (/,/home/,sawp) manual partition with no issues. It would be
interesting to compare both results.

Thanks,

Aitor.

From the partition menu ("LVM" "Guided" or "Manual") I select "Manual" but then get a dialog stating "No root file system defined". The installer seems to be jumping ahead from partitioning to installing without allowing me to setup partitions.

I have Ubuntu installed on some of the LVM partitions and thought if Devuan is not working for me, I can still boot back into the Ubuntu install so I don't want to re-partition the entire disk as it would hose my current desktop setup.
