The other box started life as Devuan, using the same ISO as the new box
(from way back then). So, both boxen are Devuan from the start, not any
kind of migration from Wheezy or even Debian Jessie.

I must have deliberately installed the 4.9 kernel manually, I just don't
remember doing so and why I would have done it.
