[peteringram0]

i am getting the error "cannot open access to console, the root account is locked". I haven't seen any other issues reporting this.

I got the same error too. Any workaround?

Following a couple of previously closed issues on this repo - I was able to get it working this morning, on an M1 Mac.

As other folks mentioned, I needed to remove references to 1Password config here:

nixos-config/overlays/default.nix

Line 11 in 3761a9e

_1password = final.callPackage ../pkgs/1password.nix {};

I also made sure to add the plymouth package to system packages. I was seeing an error at some point with plymouth failing to load.

Lastly, I noticed in the journalctl logs that host.mount couldn't be mounted. I confirmed this with:

$  systemctl status host.mount

This is an issue with sharing the host filesystem with Fuse:

nixos-config/machines/vm-aarch64.nix

Line 26 in 3761a9e

fileSystems."/host" = {

I'm pretty new to this whole setup, NixOS included, but here's a branch I've pieced together with a working system: https://github.com/kingscott/nixos-config/tree/mitchellh-working

Plymouth doesn't appear to be necessary as far as I can tell. I initially had trouble with the configuration for Fuse. But it led me to realize that I hadn't included any directories for sharing in the vm settings. Once I added a directory, systemd appeared to work smoothly after the "bootstrap step". The virtual machine is functional now.
