partition from /. If so, copy the kernels and initrds to /boot and
use paths relative to /boot in the GRUB configuration file. This
makes the boot.loader.grub.bootDevice option obsolete. (Is there a
way to mark obsolete options?) It also makes it unnecessary to set
boot.loader.grub.copyKernels, although that option is still
available since it can speed up GRUB if the Nix store is very
large.

GRUB version changes. (That's the complete version from the name
attribute, not the boot.loader.grub.version attribute.) The current
version is recorded in /boot/grub/version. This is required to
prevent massive breakage when we change the default value of
boot.loader.grub.version to "2".

problem:
Nix only recognizes nixbld users which have nixbld set in extraGroups.
After installation the user was created by activate with group='nixbld'
and extraGroups=[]
After rebooting a conditional shell script fixed this by adding
extraGroups=["nixbld"].
This patches creates the user they way it was in the past with
group='nobody' and extraGroups=["nixbld"].
Another solution would be making nix be aware of the primary group as
well. However this would require everyone to update Nix after updating
NixOS.

loaded on demand (e.g. by the kernel or by udev). This is
especially useful in the installation CD, where we now only load the
modules needed by the hardware.

You can run the kvm nixos installation test by:
nix-build --no-out-link tests/test-nixos-install-from-cd.nix
It boots the installed system.

You can install NixOS easily using any live cd now.
