+## 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!!
