Re: grub boot keyboard

what is the model and version of your lenovo laptop?

have you successfully used _any_ other *nix operating system?

which version(s) of Devuan have you tried?

some semi-random webpages that may give some additional thoughts:

Re: grub boot keyboard

after looking at the link references in the above comments it does not seem that there is a solution with an on-screen keyboard for grub.  it's not like I can't log in, the fixed keyboard on the labtop is ok for the task, it's different with the external keyboard which isn't precise and fast enough
I think i will conciders this for solved.
