These are instructions for booting from an Ubuntu liveCD and installing NixOS on a machine. I needed to do this because the NixOS liveCD doesn't work on my machine (NixOS/nixpkgs#5829), so I'm just using the Ubuntu installation media as something to boot into.
Much of this is from discussion at NixOS/nixpkgs#14680.

| # this machine, please update the guest additions and repackage the | |
