# This configuration has / on a LVM volume. Since Grub
# doesn't know about LVM, a separate /boot is therefore
# needed. In particular you need to set "copyKernels"
# to tell NixOS to copy kernels and initrds from /nix/store
# to /boot, and "bootMount" to tell Grub the /boot device
# in Grub syntax (e.g. (hd0,0) for /dev/sda1).
#
# In this example, labels are used for file systems and
# swap devices: "boot" might be /dev/sda1, "root" might be
# /dev/my-volume-group/root, and "swap" might be /dev/sda2.
# In particular there is no specific reference to the fact
# that / is on LVM; that's figured out automatically.
