When bootstrapping from other distributions, nixos-install is unable to find various tools in the chroot since their paths aren't aware of NixOS conventions. This makes a small change to existing code by specifying nixpkgs/nixos instead of just nixos when running nix-instantiate in the chroot. I haven't tested this outside of bootstrapping, but the same specification is used elsewhere in the code so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
*** NixOS *** NixOS is a Linux distribution based on the purely functional package management system Nix. More information can be found at http://nixos.org/nixos and in the manual in doc/manual.
