Ventoy was the solution for me.

Please look at the multi-boot iso that fsmithred made for the Devuan conference in April. That may give you some hints.

]]>Check the sha256sum on the .img file to make sure it downloaded correctly.
]]>What kind of instructions would you like? There's not much to say. Just dd the image to a usb stick, boot the stick and choose a system. If you want to install one of those systems, it's probably better to download one of the 2.1 isos, because they are newer.
]]>I thought there might be a hint in any READme, but couldn't find one.
This was no try to create a multiboot system though it definitely has several different Devuan distros on board which can be selected during the boot process.
]]>If you want to make your own live-usb, you're in the wrong place. Use one of the usb creators or do it manually as mentioned in posts above.
]]>Please give me a hint, the readme is quite frugal.
]]># mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
# mkdir -p /mnt/boot/efi
# mount /dev/sdXZ /mnt/boot/efi
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdX
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --boot-directory=/mnt/boot --efi-directory=/mnt/boot/efi --removable
The stick will need both the main root partition (/dev/sdXY) and an EFI system partition (/dev/sdXZ) with a GUID partition table and a BIOS boot partition. For both UEFI and non-UEFI grub-install commands use the grub-pc-bin & grub-efi-amd64-bin packages. For multibitness UEFI systems there is also a grub-efi-ia32-bin package (--target=i386-efi).
Then write (/mnt)/boot/grub/grub.cfg with menu entries for each image, here is an example stanza for a Devuan ISO image:
menuentry 'Devuan (live)' {
isofile=usr/share/iso/devuan.iso
search.fs_uuid $uuid_stick root
loopback loop $root/$isofile
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live config fromiso=$root/$isofile toram
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img
}
In this example the ISO image is stored on the root partition under /usr/share/iso/devuan.iso (because FHS) but you can put it wherever you want. Replace $uuid_stick with the actual UUID of the root partition.
