Looks like the NVME is present

NB: this doesn't mean it's bootable.

Huh, the files u-boot is trying to install don't exist

Are you evaluating multiple versions of Nixpkgs?

Needing more than 4 GiB for NixOS evaluation is very unusual...

I don't think so.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to profile Nix evaluations... I've always been able to just throw more RAM at the problem (since it's only been a problem in VMs for me so far).

I guess the old binary search trick could work...
Remove half of the code and see how it affects memory usage.
Then focus your search onto the more memory-consuming half and repeat.
