I had to manually mount /boot in order to continue (it worked fine). It appears to be cause by the fact that mounting /dev/vda1 to /boot is hardcoded somewhere during image building step. That is, these images appear to be bootable only on KVM. Take a look at /etc/fstab to from the image to give you some clues:
# This is a generated file. Do not edit!
#
# To make changes, edit the fileSystems and swapDevices NixOS options
# in your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# Filesystems.
/dev/disk/by-label/nixos / ext4 x-nixos.autoresize,x-initrd.mount 0 1
/dev/vda1 /boot vfat defaults 0 2
# Swap devices.
It appears that for /boot the right line should be /dev/disk/by-label/ESP /boot vfat defaults 0 2.
Please take a look at that. I have produced the image for rescue purposes but it turned out the the rescue image itself needs to be rescued first :)
At any rate, I am very impressed by how easy it is to build an image using this project. Thank you!
I have tried to boot a raw-efi image and got similar situation to the one described here:
