Update: the kernel isn't static after all (despite what I thought). Instead,
the list of module dependencies isn't present in the Devuan ASCII image for
BeagleBone. Modules start working again after running "depmod"; mounting
/dev/mmcblk0p1 also works.
So I copied the kernel and initrd to mmcblk0p1 and rebooted. Now bootup
stalls with:

[    6.278412] Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2...


It looks as if I'm going to need to dig in to u-boot.
