nixpkgs/modules/installer/tools/nixos-rebuild.sh
Eelco Dolstra c1295661c4 * Added a command `nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader'. This is
like `build-vm', but boots using the regular boot loader (i.e. GRUB
  1 or 2) rather than booting directly from the kernel/initrd.  Thus
  it allows testing of GRUB.

Usage: $0 [OPTIONS...] OPERATION
The operation is one of the following:
switch: make the configuration the boot default and activate now
boot: make the configuration the boot default
test: activate the configuration, but don't make it the boot default
build: build the configuration, but don't make it the default or
activate it
build-vm: build a virtual machine containing the configuration
(useful for testing)
build-vm-with-bootloader:
like build-vm, but include a boot loader in the VM
dry-run: just show what store paths would be built/downloaded
pull: just pull the Nixpkgs channel manifest and exit
Options:
--install-grub (re-)install the Grub bootloader
--no-pull don't do a nix-pull to get the latest Nixpkgs
channel manifest
--no-build-nix don't build the latest Nix from Nixpkgs before
building NixOS
--rollback restore the previous NixOS configuration (only
with switch, boot, test, build)
--fast same as --no-pull --no-build-nix --show-trace
Various nix-build options are also accepted, in particular:
--show-trace show a detailed stack trace for evaluation errors
Environment variables affecting nixos-rebuild:
\$NIXOS path to the NixOS source tree
\$NIXPKGS path to the Nixpkgs source tree
\$NIXOS_CONFIG path to the NixOS system configuration specification
