I did a fresh install of minimal debian squeeze.
Then I did the dist-upgrade to debian wheezy.
Then I cleaned out all of the old squeeze code still hanging around
Then I did a wheezy update.
And then I followed the dev1fanboy instructions for the dist-upgrade
from wheezy to devuan jessie.
And it worked! Using lilo too.

It all seemed to go so well until I rebooted.
The usual messages whizzed past in a very large font, then the usual
blank screen before it comes back with a nice small font, but,
nothing! Just a blank screen.
Is it possible my wheezy installation was a bit too minimal?
Or maybe my /boot partition was bit too small? I set it at 256MB.
All suggestions welcome.
And as an FYI - dist-upgrade from squeeze to devuan-jessie fails. You
have to go via wheezy.
