Hello Nixers! GRUB 2 is now available in NixOS and it actually works! :-)
To use it, one needs to set ‘boot.loader.grub.version’ to ‘2’, and then run “nixos-rebuild switch --install-grub”. The current version (1.97beta3) doesn’t resize background images to match the terminal resolution so one would need to resize them manually with convert(1) or similar. One advantage of GRUB 2 over GRUB Legacy is that it can load various kernels, such as the FreeBSD kernel, without resorting to intermediate boot loaders. That’s going to be be helpful for NixOS GNU/kFreeBSD! :-) Thanks, Ludo’. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
