I know you said to test:
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/unstable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
This go for:
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/unstable/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso

My old reliable just finished up a test that it was doing. I saw that
the one you linked to was 64 bit. Until this 32 bit goes to it's final
resting place, I still use it. FYI Aopen server cir 2002/3. I had more,
this is the last one. Another died about a month ago and have not had
time to find the replacement power supply. I call it, the bunny. It
keeps going and going and going... :D
