# Same installer environment, built as netboot (kernel + initrd +
# iPXE script) instead of an ISO — this is what packages.pxe bundles.
#
# Deliberately imports common.nix directly, NOT ./modules/installer/iso.nix
# (which pulls in nixpkgs' installation-cd-minimal.nix) -- confirmed live
# that composing the ISO module together with netboot-minimal.nix hangs
# every boot waiting for a device that can never exist on a netboot
# client ("A start job is running for /dev/disk/by-label/nixos-minimal-...").
# Both installation-cd-base.nix and netboot.nix set fileSystems."/" via
# the identical lib.mkImageMediaOverride (mkOverride 60) priority --
# genuinely conflicting root-filesystem strategies (ISO-by-label vs.
# netboot-tmpfs) at the same priority, and the ISO one was winning.
# netboot-minimal.nix's own chain (netboot-base.nix) already imports
# profiles/installation-device.nix independently, so common.nix's
# initialHashedPassword override (which assumes that profile is
# present) still applies correctly without iso.nix in the mix.
