   The ZFS install instructions want to boot from a live ISO and then install all the ZFS stuff into the live filesystem, then do an install from there. Because of various license problems with ZFS it has to built from source. Which seems to work except for one little problem: it builds for a newer kernel version than the one that boots from the Devuan live. 😕

   So now I have to figure out how to replace the vmlinuz and initrd.img on an ISO9660 filesystem.

     Devuan installed easy enough as ext4, but there's no option to format and install as ZFS. I found instructions for doing a ZFS install for Debian and since Devuan is a Debian fork, I'm hoping the instructions will be close enough.

     Bought all the parts for this over a month ago and didn't get around to putting it together because I have been distracted by QuickTake cameras. It's going to become a NAS running Devuan and pure ZFS over 5 drives.
