I am having difficulty installing nixos on my vps instance. I was following the official manual at https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/

When I run lsblk, I get the result shown in the attached image.

And when I run parted /dev/vda -- mklabel get the following:
Warning: Partition(s) on /dev/vda are being used.

If I ignore the warning and proceed and restart, the vps never boots again, it gets stuck

@k900:0upti.meK900OK what is happening here19:37:09
@tmenendez:matrix.orgtm1v The installation media is the official iso (minimal).
fdisk -l command yields the output shown in the screenshot by the way. 		19:37:06
@k900:0upti.meK900I am very confused19:37:23
@k900:0upti.meK900Did you dd the image onto /dev/vda or something19:37:30
@tmenendez:matrix.orgtm1vyou and me both19:37:29
@k900:0upti.meK900 Anyway, nuke /dev/vda, reboot the system to the ISO again, and then post the output of lsblk again 19:38:52
