 Puna | boot ud:,\\:tbxi might work depending on the devaliases on your machine & HFS blessing of the installer | 20:05:49 |
| Puna | if not blessed / blessed wrong, then replace \\:tbxi with a regular path to whatever the installer intends to boot. usually a grub.elf somewhere | 20:06:24 |
| Puna | i don't remember the OF command for showing path contents OTTOMH anymore xd | 20:06:53 |
| Puna | dir ud:\ maybe, smth like that | 20:08:57 |

DDR2
retro
| 20:22:36 |
| debtquity | oh wait i am in exotic nix targets channel | 20:22:51 |
| Puna | ah that's what that was, aliexpress just told me that the item is unavailable in my location | 20:24:00 |
| Puna | my machine takes PC3200 DDR instead | 20:24:13 |
 Stas | this got me into grub, but the system spends eternity at "Loading" with a spinner | 21:46:51 |
| Stas | then fans go to 100% | 21:46:56 |
| Stas | tried different USB drives | 21:47:03 |
| Puna | how long did you leave it running? it'll take a good while | 21:48:30 |
| Puna | you can try uhhhh | 21:48:36 |
| Stas | let me give it some time | 21:49:38 |
| Puna | if the usb has an led on it and it keeps blinking, then it's prolly still loading | 21:52:38 |
| Stas | none of them do nowadays :D | 21:55:22 |
| Stas | i will just let it simmer for a while | 21:55:30 |
| Stas | you were totally right | 21:57:08 |
| Stas | :D | 21:57:09 |
| Stas | just takes ages | 21:57:12 |
| Puna | booting an installed system is abit faster, i promise 🙂↕️ | 21:59:25 |
| Puna | puna@Yubel ~> systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 17.503s (kernel) + 39.642s (userspace) = 57.146s
not perfectly accurate, but gives a rough idea

| 22:01:40 |
| Stas | i was thinking of installing nvme into a pcie slot. Won't be usable for boot partition, but should work otherwise | 22:06:39 |
| Stas | but that later :D | 22:06:44 |
| Stas | mine still has the stock hdd | 22:07:03 |
| Puna | btw, just to tamper expectations: i don't think you can actually install nixos yet even if you build an ISO. at the very least, there's prolly some stuff missing in the boot.loader.grub module to handle the different grub package + platform-specific stuff. haven't tried going past booting the installer yet cus i only have a single disk available rn, and i didn't wanna risk losing my working debian installation. | 22:18:10 |
