The debian/devuan runit will use sysvinit scripts if there's no run script for a service. If/when you install runit-init, be sure to include runit-services which will give you a bunch of run scripts.

Apt know what to do based on what's in sources.list and the installer is messing with that file and with mounting/unmounting cdrom when it thinks it should do that. Someone is working on the fix.

I'm not upset or anything, that's why its called 'testing'........funny part is I just reverted back to SysV anyway since the Devuan implementation of runit seems to be a weird hybrid of SysV and runit. I was trying to go for the VOID experience of pure runit. No big deal SysV works good.

Update: right before I selected runit, I dropped to console, chrooted /target and edited /etc/apt/sources.list to comment out the cdrom line. The installer continued normally when I selected runit.

THANKS......you would think that apt could figure out to pull packages from the online repos in its sources.list

Yes, I can confirm that. To make it worse, there's no Back button and pressing ESC just makes that screen reload.

I'd guess your "I chose RUNIT" means to install some software, and your /etc/apt/sources.list nominates /media/cdrom as a repository (of cdrom type), which is one of the babies that came with the installation. If you remove that, or comment it out, in /etc/apt/sources.list your system (aka "it") will no longer ask for that repository.

got a weird error where Excalibur is asking for me to put the install ISO in when I chose RUNIT instead of SysV......anone else seen this?

UPDATE: it was asking for it to be mounted at /media/cdrom even though it was mounted at /cdrom so I created it and mounted it there as well but its still asking....
