..vdev initrd.img-4.9.0-2-rt-amd64 boot still fails, your vdev
initramfs-3.16.0-4-amd64.img now makes it as far as finding
coretemp sensors and stalls at some multipath searching, AFAIR,
I forgot to record dmesg, I'm rusty, last time was 10 years ago.


..what nasty command line tricks do I use to get online with
devuan_jessie_RC_amd64_minimal_live_vdev.iso?
(Ideally wifi, but eth0 will work.)


..and how do I get wifi up on heads-0.2?
Lan ssh didn't work on heads-0.1, eth0 would work ok
on heads-0.2 if I had a long enough wire handy.
