Motivation for this change

I wanted to boot qemu-machines using pixieboot but it failed.
turns out: the cmdline was escaped badly.

using the following configuration i can now boot a qemu-vm from network:

{ pkgs, lib, config, ... }:
{

  services.pixiecore = let
    nixos = import <nixpkgs/nixos> {
      configuration = { config, pkgs, lib, ... }: with lib; {
        imports = [
          <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/profiles/minimal.nix>
          <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/profiles/all-hardware.nix>
          <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/netboot/netboot.nix>
        ];
      };
    };
    build = nixos.config.system.build;
  in {
    enable = true;
    debug = true;
    openFirewall = true;
    dhcpNoBind = true;
    kernel = "${build.kernel}/bzImage";
    initrd = "${toString build.netbootRamdisk}/initrd";
    cmdLine = "init=${build.toplevel}/init ${lib.concatStringsSep " " nixos.config.boot.kernelParams}";
  };

}
Things done

Fix double-escaping of cmdline.

  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
