When installing NixOS on a machine with Windows, the "easiest" solution to dual-boot is re-using the existing EFI System Partition (ESP), which allows systemd-boot to detect Windows automatically. However, if there are multiple ESPs, maybe even on multiple disks, systemd-boot is unable to detect the other OSes, and you either have to use Grub and os-prober, or do a tedious manual configuration as described in the wiki: https://wiki.nixos.org/w/index.php?title=Dual_Booting_NixOS_and_Windows&redirect=no#EFI_with_multiple_disks This commit automates and documents this properly so only a single line like boot.loader.systemd-boot.windows."10".efiDeviceHandle = "HD0c2"; is required. In the future, we might want to try automatically detecting this during installation, but finding the correct device handle while the kernel is running is tricky. |
