Armijn Hemel ddc27b2313 use "kernelscripts" package to install the kernel and extra modules. This is 
actually bad, because in theory a different kernel could be chosen to be
installed and then we could not load any modules...but even communism
works...in theory!

Armijn Hemel 7e6a7d6418 rewrite to use busybox 
TODO: rewrite some of the tools to use the busybox tools instead of the "normal" utilities during installation, so we can shave off another 15 MB from the
installer

Armijn Hemel 493661f880 This is a major big update for the install process for NixOS. This requires 
the latest patches to Nix itself, which were committed the last few days.

Biggest changes:

make-disk.sh:
* use nix-push to generate NAR files and a manifest
* use only copy a "few" packages (but probably still too many than we want) to the Nix store on the CD

fill-disk.sh:
* use nix-pull to register a manifest with a lot of packages. Only copy and
register as valid the few packages that are in the Nix store on the installer
CD, install the rest via nix-env and other tools (this needs to be reviewed
thoroughly for optimizations).

All in all the install process is a lot cleaner now, the login script is broken
however (but should be relatively easy to fix with some Nix wizardry). NIX_ROOT
is still broken, but we can work around most issues with relative ease now.

Armijn Hemel e76efef0d0 make sure we always have mktemp, by building our own version first using Nix. 
This makes it a bit more pure to build the NixOS iso. Still room for improvement though...

Armijn Hemel fe355bba78 replace a lot of tools we initially use with statically linked versions. 
This reduces the ramdisk installer size with a few megabytes when gzipped,
but with about 40 MB when unpacked in memory.

There are a few improvements possible:

- strip the binaries. This saves another few MBs.
- only copy the binaries we really need to /bin or /sbin. This could reduce
the size of the installer a lot, especially with util-linux, of which we
don't use that many tools at all.
- try to move some packages we link with glibc right now (like util-linux) to
dietlibc. This will not work for bash, already tried that.
- try to use busybox as a replacement for everything.

Armijn Hemel de289092b2 - various cleanups 
- have mingetty listen on tty2 (but this still fails because of missing /dev/log
