Eelco Dolstra f21aa7d22c First attempt at using systemd
Basic booting works.  Systemd starts agetty instances on tty1 and
tty2.  Shutdown and journald also work.

Eelco Dolstra 3dd0718939 * Give an error at evaluation time if boot.loader.grub.device or
boot.loader.grub.devices are not set, rather than complaining about
  it when it's too late.

Eelco Dolstra 03f2847054 * Set preferLocalBuild on a few trivial top-level derivations. These

Eelco Dolstra e3879fe365 * Store the NixOS version in the top-level derivation.
* Change the name of the top-level derivation from "system" to
  "nixos-<version>".
* Show the NixOS version in the GRUB boot menu instead of the kernel
  version.

Eelco Dolstra b1fd71038e * Slight speedup. It's amazing how quickly shell scripts become
slow: calling basename in a loop somewhere has a noticable impact on
  performance.  We really shouldn't use bash scripts.

I didn't end up needing it and there's a better way to do what I wanted if I
did.

Eelco Dolstra c4f910f550 * Substitute the path of the system derivation directly in the stage 2
init script.  This removes the need for the `systemConfig' boot
  parameter; `init=<stage-2-init>' is enough.  However, the GRUB menu
  builder still needs to add `systemConfig' to the kernel command line
  for compatibility with old configurations.

does the same as nesting.children except that each configuration inherits
from the top-level configuration.

Eelco Dolstra 0432766399 * Fall back to the kernel modules used at boot time if the modules in
the current configuration don't match the running kernel.  This
  ensures that modprobe still works after a "nixos-rebuild switch" to
  a configuration that has a different kernel version.

Eelco Dolstra 8d588424d2 * switch-to-configuration: force a reinstallation of GRUB whenever the
GRUB version changes.  (That's the complete version from the name
  attribute, not the boot.loader.grub.version attribute.)  The current
  version is recorded in /boot/grub/version.  This is required to
  prevent massive breakage when we change the default value of
  boot.loader.grub.version to "2".

  etc.).

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 75f6cd20da Making modular my previous changes for armv5tel. I updated the way to use
grub. Its options are no more inside 'boot', but inside 'boot.loader.grub'.
I added a new bootloader configuration for nixos, generationsDir. It creates
/boot/default/{init,initrd,kernel,system} symlinks, and the same for the generations
in /boot/system-$gen/{init,initrd,kernel,system}.

I can program the u-boot loader to load /boot/default files always, and have
a minimal nixos boot loader installer functionality. Additionally, I can refer
to the other system generations easily, with a simple 'ls' in /boot.

Eelco Dolstra 98cce35041 * Turn the top-level derivation of a NixOS configuration ("system")
into a NixOS module (modules/system/activation/top-level.nix -
  couldn't think of a better name).  The top-level derivation is
  returned in config.system.build.system.
* Inlined system.sh in top-level.nix so that we don't have to pass
  everything through environment variables.
