Thanks Shea! How do you boot the ISO on Linode. What I did:
- Created a small Gentoo disk and a LiveCD disk - Booted into Rescue Mode - Downloaded the http://nixos.org/releases/nixos/latest-iso-minimal-x86_64-linux to the Gentoo disk - dd'd the iso to my LiveCD disk - Modified Configuration so LiveCD is the boot disk, and kernel is pv-grub (x86_64) Then I try to boot and I get a grubdom screen and can't get it to boot. Am I doing it right? Thanks! Once I can get a working Linode I'll push this information back to the wiki. /M s...@shealevy.com writes: > Hi Malcolm, > > I have NixOS running on a linode instance using pv-grub.
