Hallo Hughe, I recently installed Devuan Jessie i386 from the alpha2 netboot-iso without issues, but I used an existing partition structure and had the installer only format, label and assign the mountpoints. Regarding your grub-install problem, I noticed that you have some kind of an uncommon setup, with the installer stick (which usually does not have a MBR) instead of a HDD at /dev/sda: > The system setup was > /dev/sda - bootable USB stick > /dev/sdb - Hard disk If you choose to install Grub to the MBR, I think in the very most cases it makes perfectly sense to use the MBR of the first HDD by default. > Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda > Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. In your case you'd have to enter the disk manually – the installer provides an option for that.
