Eelco Dolstra bb0a2b0d78 * In stage 1, fsck the root device before mounting it. If automatic
repair fails, drop the user into an emergency shell.

Eelco Dolstra 2cccff268d * Pass the path of the stage 2 init script to stage 1 init through the
kernel command line, instead of having a /init symlink.  This allows
  us to switch between configurations.
* Some debug support: adding `debug' to the kernel command line gives
  a stage 1 shell.

Eelco Dolstra 0785dfb9f8 * Lots of refactoring; put the CD image generation in rescue-cd.nix.
Support booting from something other than a CD.  Add some parameters
  to specify the root device.

Eelco Dolstra 8a43fcd57c * Stage 1: clean up better (unmount /proc and /sys, remount new root
to /).
* Stage 2: use sysvinit to create a bunch of mingetty's on virtual
  consoles 1-6.  Show a nice welcoming message.  Start syslogd and log
  everything to tty10.

Eelco Dolstra a94dd5c8b1 * Given a kernel build (with modules in $kernel/lib/modules/VERSION),
`modules-closure.nix' produces a module tree in
  $out/lib/modules/VERSION that contains only the modules identified
  by `rootModules', plus their dependencies.  It also generates an
  appropriate modules.dep.  This is useful for initrds, as we
  obviously don't want a copy of the entire kernel module tree in the
  initial RAM disk.

Eelco Dolstra 23381ed03f * Add the module tools, util-linux and the kernel modules to the
initrd.  Of course, the next step is to only add the kernel modules
  that we're going to need.

Eelco Dolstra 707dd20538 * Make device nodes in the stage 1 init (copied from ../init.sh).

Eelco Dolstra 2d31e1b6d6 * A minimal boot script for stage 1 of the boot (loading kernel
modules).  The closure of the boot script is all we need in the
  initrd.
