I use UNetBootin with LinuxLive USB Creator as an alternative when I
want to force a FAT32 reformat. Either way I seem to have problems with
NixOS live-cd (perhaps in the realm of hybrid cds, but I am in way over
my head ... ).
Why do you have problems with flash-boot and have to burn discs? Maybe
there is some problem with your flash-drive? You can try another one.
You can also try some truly old NixOS, pre-systemd one, for example or 2.x
kernel.

Opening an issue won't help, we can't reproduce and we're the same guys :-)

As a last attempt, I burned the minimal ISO and tried booting it.
Exactly the same result - goes nicely until it shows the login prompt
whereupon the error message triplets start (doesn't even newline down
from the prompt so the first error message is offset somewhat).
Seems a bit strange that

Heh. I think I can answer that.
If OP's hybrid solid-state drive is like mine, it calls itself a
"SSHD". A needlessly confusing red herring that is entirely unrelated

Following up, I came across this:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/4748
Could this be related to my problem?

I agree that the problem is hardware related, but I cannot see any

So did you try switching/reseating the cable? Perhaps put the drive on a
different port? It does seem to be hardware from search results.
It could be that Linux exercises the disk differently from Windows...

Well, I used Windows to check the S.M.A.R.T. and all is good. Besides if
there were a connection problem, Windows 7 would be at best capriciously

the live-cd itself).
Further, as mentioned, the Linux Mint live-cd has no problem with the

Pretty sure he just means that he won't be able to make the install
