I cannot agree with this. Where are you getting this netinstaller image from?
I just did the following:
# wget
https://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/devuan/devuan_chimaera/installer-
iso/devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_netinstall.iso
# file devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_netinstall.iso
devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_netinstall.iso: DOS/MBR boot sector ISO 9660 CD-
ROM filesystem data 'Devuan 4.0' (bootable); partition 2 : ID=0xef, start-CHS
(0x3ff,254,63), end-CHS (0x3ff,254,63), startsector 4040, 1472 sectors
# mount -o loop devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_netinstall.iso /mnt
mount: block device
/var/lib/libvirt/iso/devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_netinstall.iso is write-
protected, mounting read-only
# ls -l /mnt
