I believe that having a netboot option in Devuan is very important,
and it would not require much effort, indeed. In the past I have used
PXE boot many times to install Debian on headless servers (I still
have dhcp and tftp configured for that in my laptop), and it always
worked like a charm. We definitely ought have that option, despite
real metal servers will unavoidably become an even smaller minority in
the server landscape :)
