[Nix-dev] install help needed nixos-0.1pre15831-i686-linux

[germsteel]

Discovered on nixos, had to check it out.

Trying to install nixos-0.1pre15831-i686-linux on VirtualBox Mac OS X

I have followed the manual and have:
created ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1 and swap on /dev/sda2
edited configuration.nix
run nixos-install

I have tried grubDevice "/dev/sda" and "/dev/sda1"  all I get is the same
unable to boot hd (0,0)
i can always boot into the install/rescue iso and the install always fails
with this message:
100 418K
2267 store paths in manifest
error: [... snip ...] derivation named 'system' at
'/mnt/etc/nixos/nixos/system/system.nix:399:9';

  more than a dozen lines ...

Also how are people copying and pasting these messages?  all I get is a
shell prompt after I have logged in as root.

Thanks,

   --gs (   6+ hours spent so far )
