Issues & Assistance Garuda Nix Subsystem

I am following the instructions here:

The final stage of garuda-nix-subsystem install fails, complaining that mount point does not exist.
This is the whole story:

I reloaded because the output said (hint) your fstab has been modified, but systemd still uses the old version; use 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload.
