The problem is that the old Raspbian wheezy won't boot on pi0, due to
a firmware problem (I tried that one before trying the tainted jessie,
obviously...). There is a workaround though, which consists on
upgrading the firmware to the newest version from a pi1 or a pi2, but
I haven't tried it.

I really would like to have a devuan armhf port compiled for arm6, to
get advantage of the FPU. Honestly, it has been a long time since I
had the whole toolchain installed to cross-compile for arm, but this
would probably be worth the effort, and convince me to travel a few
years back in time. There are a lot of people out there using pis, and
some are already complaining about systemd, and many would love a
pi-vuan. Any volunteers around? :)
