reiserfs now have separate modules that are conditional on
boot.supportedFilesystems and boot.initrd.supportedFilesystems.
By default, these include the filesystems specified in the fsType
attribute in fileSystems. Ext2/3/4 support is currently
unconditional.
Also unbreak the installer test (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2272302).

was already the case on Linux 2.6.32, but in newer kernels the CFQ
scheduler is built as a module, so all block devices got the ‘none’
scheduler instead.

to the nixpkgs trunk 'kernelPackages'.
Seeing a strange kernelPackages mentioned in installation-cd-rescue (2.6.31_something) I
update that to 2.6.32.

readd r19267 (the issue should be fixed now)
Eelco Dolstra and Nicolas Pierron both kept asking me to pay attention
to the rendered manual. There is one catch: example settings such as
pkgs.kernelPackages_2_6_25 are correct however they don't render
properly. Moreover you don't want those examples to be evaluated (maybe
compiling a kernel ?) when building the manual only.
So use Strings and add a copy & paste note.
This is still a hacky. Maybe a kind of typed "verbatim" expression
should be added (?)

modules that should be added to the initrd, but should only be
loaded on demand (e.g. by the kernel or by udev). This is
especially useful in the installation CD, where we now only load the
modules needed by the hardware.
* Enable automatic modprobing by udev in the initrd.

automatically loaded by the kernel, load it at boot time.
* Put the ext2 module (which used to be built in) in the initrd to
prevent unexpected breakage.

* Change the module syntax of the example to follow Eelco's suggestions.
* Add a section "Building your own NixOS CD", which explain how to replace
configuration.nix by the configuration file of a live CD/DVD.
* Fix "Testing the installer" and "Testing the initrd" to fit the location
of derivations.
