Looks like you need to set some variables in configuration.nix.
I'm attempting a Linode installation as documented here:
http://nixos.org/wiki/Install_NixOS_on_Linode
I have:
# cat /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix
{
boot.loader.initScript.enable = true;
}
#
I had thought to supplement that, but:
# bash /mnt/nix/store/nixos-prepare-install guess-config
INFO: /mnt/README-BOOTSTRAP-NIXOS found, assuming your're bootstrapping
from an archive. Nix files should be in place
To realise your NixOS installtion execute:
run-in-chroot /nix/store/nixos-bootstrap --install -j2 --keep-going
#
Without --show-trace output, it is hard to give any details..
There's no obvious way to do that:
# bash /mnt/nix/store/run-in-chroot /nix/store/nixos-bootstrap --install
-j2 --keep-going --show-trace
INFO: Enable networking: copying /etc/resolv.conf
INFO: mounting /proc /sys /dev and / to /host-system
/nix/store/nixos-bootstrap: line 8: cat: command not found
INFO: unmounting /proc /sys /dev and removing /host-system if empty
rmdir: failed to remove `/mnt/host-system': Device or resource busy
#
And although /mnt/README-BOOTSTRAP-NIXOS indicates that --install in the
command above can be replaced by --help for more information, the output
is identical to the above.

Maybe you just need to read previous trace and edit the script in-store
and add --show-trace to nix-env invokation manually.

Re: [Nix-dev] bootstrap failure
Where did you get the mininmal bootstrapping archive from? I'm pretty sure its outdated? i686 or x86_64? The cat command should show its usage .. This all should be fixed in latest version. Or open the script and patch it .. You can contact me on irc as well. Marc Weber ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

The x86_64 image from step 5 on this page: http://nixos.org/wiki/Install_NixOS_on_Linode The cat command should show its usage .. The README-BOOTSTRAP-NIXOS there is pretty brief, and the nixos-prepare-install is pretty insistent that the existence of that file means that everything is there and ready and that I should just be running nixos-boostrap via run-in-chroot. This all should be fixed in latest version. I was hoping for this... Or open the script and patch it .. and hoping not to have to do this. :-) -KQ -- -KQ ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
