Relevant parameters such as those set in `boot.initrd` and `boot.kernelParams` are also passed to QEMU.
Additional parameters can be supplied on invocation through the environment variable `$QEMU_KERNEL_PARAMS`.
They are added to the `-append` option, see [QEMU User Documentation](https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/qemu-manpage) for details
For example, to let QEMU use the parent terminal as the serial console, set `QEMU_KERNEL_PARAMS="console=ttyS0"`.
This will not (re-)boot correctly into a system that has switched to a different configuration on disk.

You have enabled ${opt.useNixStoreImage} = true,

This causes a store image to be written to the store, which is
costly, especially for the binary cache, and because of the need
for more frequent garbage collection.
If you really need this combination, you can set ${opt.writableStore}
explicitly to true, incur the cost and make this warning go away.
Otherwise, we recommend
