In the words of the apache foundation... It works!
Congrats to all those who did the work.

I made a new installation of devuan to start over.

I got an error from the latest make-initramfs.sh about a missing
/root/vdev-initramfs. The actual location of the script is in
/root/vdev-snapshot/root/vdev-initramfs/tools, so I made a symlink:
ln -s /root/vdev-snapshot/root/vdev-initramfs /root/vdev-initramfs

Mouse and keyboard now work in X, removable drives can be
mounted/unmounted. I'm going to test the scanner next. Can't test my
printer now, because there's no parallel port on this laptop.

What else should be tested?
