This is installation steps were done:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Netbook is a Lenovo Ideapad S10, with 1 Giga of Ram, etc. I have currently installed Archlinux on. I make a bootable usb with Unetbootin, and follow the instructions below: Activate the swap space using: mkswap-L swap/dev/sda1 swapon/dev/sda1 Now format the second partition: mkfs.ext4-L nixos/dev/sda2 Now mount the new partition: mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos/mnt Descriptive configuration files are at the heart of NixOS and the Nix Package Manager. Even the installation process needs a configuration file to tell NixOS what to install. To generate a default configuration file type: nixos-generate-config--root /mnt Now edit the resulting file using nano: nano /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix Find the following lines and remove the “#” sign from the beginning: * boot.loader.grub.device = “/dev/sda” * services.openssh.enable = true * services.xserver.enable = true * services.xserver.layout = “us” * services.xserver.desktopManager.kde4.enable = true; * services.xserver.displayManager.kdm.enable = true; Exit nano using CTRL-X and start the installation: nixos-install Once the installation has completed, reboot your system. You will need to remove the CD or pick the “Boot from hard disk” option if you booted from the optical drive. The system should boot into the display manager; however, you can’t yet log in as there are no users defined, and root logins aren’t allowed on the desktop. Press CTRL+ALT+F1 to switch to a console. Now log in as root and add a user. Here is how to create the user “gary”
I gather you didn't get into the last paragraph and instead GRUB failed at that reboot, right?
