Again: /dev/sda is a disk, whereas /dev/sda1 is a partition. They are both files because basically everything is a file in GNU/Linux, even a disk or a partition. When the installer says the bootloader will be installed on /dev/sda, it actually means in /dev/sda's MBR (Master Boot Record):

Hi Magic Banana, I looked at the sda1 from Gparted and was surprised - Gparted doesn't list a sda, so the feature is on the install script, I guess. Okay, I will run install and accept the boot default. I may allow the install "something else" optional script to also place the /home directory

The default "device for bootloader installation" is /dev/sda (the first disk; GRUB is then installed in its MBR) not /dev/sda1 (the first partition of the first disk). But, if at the boot, GRUB shows up, then it should be OK... unless it is the GRUB installed in one of your previous tries.

This is promising! I'm pretty sure you're right that the dts files are false positives, and the precomputed constants seem to have good reason to be there too. Hopefully that means the kernel shouldn't be too much more work... which would just leave the other two programs you listed

It's based on Devuan (Debian fork without systemd) and the target audience seems to be more tech savvy than TAILS'. I thought it was a bit much for my Journalist daughter, but if you are posting on the Trisquel boards, it's probably right up your alley and nothing you can't handle.

I might have figured it out. The reason deblob-check was only printing one filename is that it exits once it finds a blob. By commenting out the exit line I was able to get it to keep looking and list all files with blobs. As expected, running deblob-check on the original kernel results in

Sorry for the late reply! I'm not entirely sure as to how the scripts work, honestly. I've had a look through them, and there's a long list of files in the deblob-4.2 file: that would seem to suggest that the blob locations are hard-coded, but it's not proof. I've asked at the GNU
