Win10 did install as expected. I could not get devuan working either with or
without win10 residing on the same (or the secondary) ssd.

I did bind the mounts for proc, dev, sys prior to chroot.

Now, for some change:
I reinstalled debian to answer Ralphs question. Ironically enough, debian
recognized the installed devuan and I can now boot into devuan using the
devuan-grub-entry from debian.

I also got an off-list hint to the README which tells, that HP messed up with
the EFI-Bootloader-Discovery. Unfortunately the solution suggested in
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=15
did not work for me.

Kind regards,
Jonathan
