Selecting the ROOT device

	/dev/sda5
	/dev/mapper/cryptroot
	/dev/mapper/vg1-a
	/dev/mapper/vg2-a
	/dev/mapper/vg4-d
	/dev/mapper/raidA
	/dev/mapper/raidB

Unencrypted file system

BTRFS partition

> ROOT device : /dev/sda5

LVM

> ROOT device : /dev/mapper/vg2-a

LVM-RAID

> ROOT device : /dev/mapper/raidB

Encrypted file system

LUKS on partition

> ROOT device : /dev/mapper/cryptroot

LVM on LUKS

> ROOT device : /dev/mapper/vg1-a

LUKS on LVM

> ROOT device : /dev/mapper/vg4-d

LUKS on LVM-RAID

> ROOT device : /dev/mapper/raidA

AFTER installation completes, One can REBOOT.

on successful boot up, login as root with empty password.

Enable necessary services like dhcp to access network.

Don't wanna install but bootstrap ?

  • try leaving the above prompts empty
  • root file system will be inside /tmp/name_of_installation
  • definitely won't for GUIX
