I'm not entirely sure what you mean here, but if you mean that there
are no other dinim learned from Nach, you are mistaken.  Several laws
of Shabbos come from Nach.  They are, of course, derabanan.  Yeshayahu
and Yirmiyahu are just as much Rabbanan as R Shimon and R Yehuda.
(Indeed, even Moshe Rabbenu, when he was not quoting HKBH, was Rabbanan,
and therefore birkot hanehenin and the nusach of the first bracha of
benching are derabanan.)
