 Continue installation as recommended by the [https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#ch-installation NixOS manual].
-Before <code>nixos-install</code> you'll have to adapt the generated NixOS configuration to also use the latest Linux kernel supporting Bcachefs. Add the following line to the <code>configuration.nix</code> in your installation root (/mnt):
-{{file|/mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>
-boot.supportedFilesystems = [ "bcachefs" ];
-boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest;
