Interim report. Without USB back drive installed, I installed the Jessie DVD ISO from key. Do simply installation routine.
When it came to partitioning, I accepted a single partition on entire target disk. Oddly my backup USB drive still reported as a possible target even though it is disconnected. I do the installation from the key rather than Devuan repository. I should note that on one prior installation I had installed mbr-pc because I thought it was asking if I wanted to use the MBR. Could this have messed up my disk? When I reboot to the target disk, all I get is a blinking line cursor upper left. Apparently kernel not seen. I try boot Devuan Jessie from my old disk GRUB menu, but is says no such disk. I suspect I need do a hard disk recovery. I suppose mkfs.ext4 on it would be of no help.
