I installed with the ordinary installation cd, but instead of

Grub since
I boot with gPXE:

If you have disabled Grub, then why do you need to enable it?
Have you tried other boot lodaer options, such as:
boot.loader.initScript.enable and boot.loader.generationsDir.enable
I think I got some error when I disabled Grub, but I might be wrong.
The boot.loader.initScript.enable anboot.loader.generationsDir.enable
options seems very usable indeed. I have set up the gPXE boot script
manually so far. Thanks!
I also have the following in configuration.nix in order to set up
the
network on boot:
boot.initrd.extraUtilsCommands =
''
cp ${pkgs.iproute}/sbin/ip $out/bin
cp ${pkgs.glibc}/lib/libresolv.so.* $out/lib
cp ${pkgs.nfsUtils}/sbin/mount.nfs $out/bin
cp ${pkgs.klibc}/lib/klibc/bin.static/nfsmount $out/bin
'';
boot.initrd.postDeviceCommands =
''
ip link set eth0 up
ip addr add 192.168.0.200/24 dev eth0
'';
However, I haven't got the NFS mount to work automatically yet.
Instead I
have:
mountPoint = "/";
fsType = "none";
device = "none";
And then I mount the root manually with "nfsmount
192.168.0.1:/export/nixos_root /mnt-root" when init stage 1
complains that
it can't mount the root device.
Have you tried with a "nfs" fsType?
Yes, it doesn't work. For some reason, running "mount -t nfs
192.168.0.1:/export/nixos_root /mnt-root" doesn't work, but "nfsmount
192.168.0.1:/export/nixos_root /mnt-root" does work. I haven't really
looked in to that yet, I wanted to get the system up and running first,
because it makes it easier to change the configuration.
