Description

Link: https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/install-nixos-on-linode/

Issue

The installer profile boots up to the boot menu and when it "automatically boots" it moves to a blank unresponsive terminal. It does seem to respond to SSH but there's no way to authenticate when connecting via SSH.

Suggested Fix

I'm not sure if there's a profile issue or if the new minimal ISO have an issue with the LISH/GLISH bits. I'm not educated enough to give a good suggestion to fix it.

I'm debating customizing an installer ISO to insert my public keys as trusted for root.
Then just using my custom ISO I flash to the installer "disk"
