+# This configuration has / on a LVM volume.  Since Grub
+# doesn't know about LVM, a separate /boot is therefore
+# needed.  In particular you need to set "copyKernels"
+# to tell NixOS to copy kernels and initrds from /nix/store
+# to /boot, and "bootMount" to tell Grub the /boot device
+# in Grub syntax (e.g. (hd0,0) for /dev/sda1).
+#
+# In this example, labels are used for file systems and
+# swap devices: "boot" might be /dev/sda1, "root" might be
+# /dev/my-volume-group/root, and "swap" might be /dev/sda2.
+# In particular there is no specific reference to the fact
+# that / is on LVM; that's figured out automatically.
