[Nix-dev] Defaulting to GRUB 2?

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello,

Should NixOS now default to GRUB 2?

Yesterday I installed NixOS with GRUB 1, but somehow its stage1 was
using the wrong boot device so it couldn’t go any further.  I suspect
that ‘boot.loader.grub.device’ should be something like ‘(hd0)’ for
GRUB 1, whereas the example in NixOS suggests ‘/dev/hda’, which may only
work for GRUB 2, or something like that.

More importantly, it seems that most of us are using GRUB 2, which
leaves GRUB 1 somewhat untested.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
