Should be “<option>nix.buildMachines</option>” for consistency.

Remove “nixos”.

“the unavailable build machines”.

Besides these typos, I find the wording unclear.

What about this:

    <para>
    When the machines listed in <option>nix.buildMachines</option> are
    known to be unavailable, use <command>nixos-rebuild
    --no-build-hook</command> to ignore them.
    </para>

    <para>
    When the build machines are intermittently unavailable, it may be
    more convenient to manage them manually by setting
    <option>manualNixMachines</option> and updating
    <filename>/etc/nix.machines</filename>.
    </para>

Thanks,
Ludo’.
