You should look at /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix /etc/nixos/configuration.nix defines the nixos configuration of the system in the CD. /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix defines the system you want in your hard disk (mounted at /mnt) nixos-install uses some 'chroot /mnt ...' operations, so you may get messages telling about /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, but you should understand that they refer to /mnt. As you install a nixos (nixos-install), and not rebuild the CD nixos (nixos-rebuild), I'm quite sure your trouble refers to /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix.
