Installing from nixos-graphical-26.05.590.ec942ba042da-x86_64-linux.iso can't have TPM DUK setuped #2154

Description

@tlaurion

Heads tries to find crypttab in decompressed initramfs, hits a symlink pointing to rootfs and fails there.

Installing OSes will need revamping as well under https://osresearch.net/InstallingOS/#compatibility will need more details for legacybios, which will need more efforts, but from top of my head; I

  • Flashed the iso on dedicated thumb drive since latest heads correctly detects it won't support fileboot
  • From installer, choosing custom partitioning option:
    • create dedicated 2000MiB /ext4 partition
      • set it to /boot mountpoint
      • set the flag to legacybios checkbox
      • set the grub flag checkbox
      • optionally set boot label
    • Create swap partition
      • say you want it encrypted
        • type a Disk Recovery Key passphrase to be reused by other encrypted rootfs later
      • set the swap flag checkbox
      • optionally set swap label
    • create rootfs partition
      • say you want it encrypted
        • type a Disk Recovery Key passphrase used for the swap partition earlier
      • set the / mountpoint
      • set the root flag checkbox
  • dismiss any warning given on uefi partition needed, /boot warning whatever.
