Iso to install latest Devuan on 486 UEFI

I have been unable to find an iso as described in the thread title.  The only isos I have found are for the amd architecture.

I want to download direct from Devuan as the nearest mirror to me has an incomprehensible directory.

486 UEFI? No way. There is no 486 CPU supported by any bios with uefi.

Please show:

doubtful that a 486 system would have enough ram for _any_ Devuan.

Kernels are not built for i486 machines these days, no distro will work on it, (unless it specifically says so) - better look for another O/S to use on it.

Maybe try FreeDOS.
