cc6d72c02d NixOS Root on ZFS: use Nix-config for multi-disk
NixOS has enjoyed popularity among ZFS users thanks to
its declarative configuration and native ZFS support.
However, the installation guide used hardcoded disk
names in configuration files, which is unnecessary and
is the source of difficulties in multidisk setups.

The guide is now rewritten to leverage expressions in
the Nix language to manage multidisk setups.

Also adds instruction on replacing failed disk.

Closes #385.

1211e98faf NixOS Root on ZFS: Do not bind mount /boot/efi
Previously we used a bind mount from /boot/efis/*-part1
to /boot/efi to facilitate bootloader configuration.
Recent reports indicate that this bind mount prevents
the system from booting.  This pull request removes the
bind mount.

Closes #383.

0aaa23397e Remove instruction to block disk cache
By my understanding, unnecessary due to unmounting at the end of the instruction. Has lead to unstable and error-spewing ZFS setups, as discussed in this issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/214871
