Armijn Hemel 142cef0a9e switch to dietlibc coreutils in the initrams. Use thit up until a certain point, after which we switch to the normal coreutils. Oh, this should really be refactored...

Armijn Hemel de289092b2 - various cleanups
- have mingetty listen on tty2 (but this still fails because of missing /dev/log
- get rid of /init on the targetdrive, solely use /sbin/init (and even that has to go one day)
- use dietlibc statically linked e2fsprogs for the installer. More to come :)

Armijn Hemel af61e91592 add /nix/var/nix/profiles and other nix related directories
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3680
2005-08-24 14:04:07 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 240a2de945 - make /lib/modules/<hash-part>-<kernelversion>
- make symlinks to "build" and "kernel" in those directories
- copy all modules.* files (like modules.dep). This is done so future add-on
modules can modify these files instead of the ones in the store...

Since the Nix hash is embedded in the path, this can still be considered
safe and it makes modprobe work automagically.

Armijn Hemel bc3ffa3458 get NixOS more towards an installable state. Stuff now actually gets installed on the disk itself. Missing is functionality to detect the right drive with
the install CD in it.

Armijn Hemel 8151b78162 add necessary packages. Now it works and we have to decide:
- either add the device with mknod
- use hotplug to build all devices dynamically

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3525
2005-08-04 14:45:27 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 93bcd71b15 This update fixes a few critical errors:
- cd to the right directory when making the initramfs image (stupid stupid stupid mistake, cost me a day of work!)
- make a bunch of devices inside the ramdisk
- copy the kernel and all modules to the CD image
- set the #! line in fill-disk to the right place (as in, append /bin/sh, another stupidity, which was luckily easily spot after fixing the first mistake, which was far more important)

Armijn Hemel 45492df16b reduce the size of the initrd a lot
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3514
2005-08-03 12:00:42 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 9c56696e75 support for initrd. Right now the image is *WAY* too big, so it boots with
a kernel panic. initrd should be brought back to a few megabytes instead
so it can be safely unzipped in memory.

Ideas:
- klibc instead of glibc
- leave out a lot of packages in the initrd:
  - gcc
  - linux-headers
  - ...
- have a minimal "stage 1", which mounts the CD (figure out how) and
remounts part of the CD on /nix and /nixpkgs
