Oh, I forgot to mention: in addition you must extract the /lib/modules/kernel_in_use from the expanded raspios-bookworm-lite-arm64 image to your devuan-daedalus root partition.

Wondered why nfs-kernel-server and wifi stuff weren't functional ... solved.

Hi to you all!

I just (May 24) purchased a Raspi5 for interest. Wanted to get my Raspi4 devuan boot SSD running and learned that things arent such easy...
It's about my home dokuwiki (plus other tasks) server. I'm currently using a Pi4 booting from SSD, headless minimum daredalus system, no bling-bling. Runs like a charm.

My (maybe quick & dirty) approach to get a devuan-daedalus-bootable-from-SDcard text mode Pi5 was as follows:

- download recent arm64 minimum SDcard image (raspios-bookworm-lite-arm64 from downloads.raspberrypi.com)
- dd that image onto a SDcard
- fdisk that SDcard, delete Linux partition (p2) and create an entirely new one
- mkfs.ext4 that partition
- cp -a the root tree of my devuan-daedalus system SSD running on Pi4 to the empty SDcard partition
- edit /etc/fstab in order to get correct UUIDs for the mountpoints "/boot/broadcom" and "/"
- insert SDcard, power on .. YEAH! IT'S RUNNING!

It's kinda Frankenstein solution, I'm aware. Too much unnecessary bloated stuff on the FAT partition, maybe using a kernel which is not optimized in terms of speed and hardware support.

Next step will be to make this system booting from a USB3 SSD ...
Furthermore I'd like to attach a UPS HAT to the Pi5 because my solar powerplant delivers short blackouts sometimes :-/

Stay tuned, friends!

P.S. booting from the said SDcard via a USB3 adapter is working out-of-the box. Takes some seconds in extra, maybe.
P.P.S. wlan I/F setup still undone
