Yes, grub is always installed to drive (i.e. /dev/sda), not partition 
(i.e. /dev/sda1). That's not NixOS-specific.


As Luca said, the original report contained very little relevant 
information, like more details about what installation steps were done, 
or what's the actual error message and when it's printed. I don't see 
much use in trying to guess blindly.
