## Adding a PureOS partition to the GRUB menu
I first assume that `boot.loader.grub.useOSProber = true;` should be sufficient.
However GRUB was not able to identify the disks correctly and it took me several
reinstallation till setting `boot.loader.grub.fsIdentifier= "provided";` and using
boot.loader.grub.extraEntries allowed me to dual boot NixOS and PureOS.
Be aware that each time the PureOS updates the /boot/grub/grub.cfg you will be unable
to boot into NixOS unless you patch grub.cfg manually again.
Therefore: If you want to be able to boot into your old PureOS distribution
add the following lines, assuming that you have a separate boot partition
Adapt linux version and the UUID to your disk!!
```nix
{
boot.loader.grub.useOSProber = false;
boot.loader.grub.fsIdentifier= "provided";
boot.loader.grub.extraEntries = ''
