When using multibootusb to create a boot stick, which can boot multiple ISOs and then booting the NixOS ISO from it, there is a problem with mounting the ISO in the first stage.
It says something like
An error occurred in stage 1 of the boot process, which must
mount the root filesystem on '/mnt-root' and start the stage 2.
Press one of the following keys:
i) to launch an interactive shell
f) to start an interactive shell having pid 1
(needed if you want to start stage 2's init manually)
r) to reboot immediately
*) to ignore the error and continue
Then press i to launch a shell. In the shell execute
# fdisk -l #To find the block device for your multiboot partition on the usb stick.
# mkdir /mnt
# mount /dev/sdXY /mnt #Use the multiboot partition's block device
# mount -o loop -t iso9660 /mnt/multiboot/nixos-<version>-linux/nixos-<version>-linux.iso /mnt-root/iso/
# exit
Now the boot process should continue as usual.
