When installing NixOS in the target filesystem /mnt, paths relative to configuration.nix in `initrd.secrets` are turned by Nix into absolute paths that reference /mnt. While building the system derivation works, installing the bootloader fails because the latter process takes place inside the chroot environment where /mnt does not exist. Ideally, we would also build the system within chroot, but this greatly complicates the matter as it requires manually copying over Nix, its runtime dependencies and all channels. Possibly, this would also break several assumptions users have about how nixos-install works. A simpler and safer (but less neat) solution is to temporarily bind mount all mount points in /mnt under /mnt/mnt to keep the paths functional while the bootloader is being installed. This is essentially the workaround described in issue #73404. |
