grub installation fails, but nixos-anywhere doesn't

[domenkozar]

Using disko simple-efi.nix example:

installing the boot loader...
setting up /etc...
updating GRUB 2 menu...
Died at /nix/store/xlfyjbcgi8x6i4klw8r0rqx66hma7qzf-install-grub.pl line 586.
installation finished!
### Waiting for the machine to become reachable again ###
### Done! ###

Using systemd-boot solved it:

boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;
          ```

Installation finished should be a message by nixos-install? Or do we print this?

[domenkozar]

That's what it printed.
