Nicolas Pierron 38e8cf175f * Use normal, dynamically linked binaries for e2fsck, lvm etc. in the
initrd instead of a mix of dietlibc, klibc and static-glibc based
  binaries.  This works by copying what we need from Glibc into the
  initrd and using patchelf to set the ELF interpreter and RPATH
  correctly.  The resulting initrd is about 500 KB smaller, but more
  importantly, it's much easier to maintain - all those
  dietlibc/klibc/static-glibc builds frequently cause build problems.

Nicolas Pierron 6c703347a8 * Symlink fsck.ext[234] to e2fsck. This makes the initrd 600 KB smaller.

Nicolas Pierron 2e4c1b138f * Include tune2fs in the initrd. This is useful for
(say) converting from ext3 to ext4.

Eelco Dolstra a83becdee8 * When booting from the installation CD, just mount
/dev/disk/by-label/<label>.  This makes the whole
  autoDetectRootDevice/rootLabel machinery unnecessary.

Eelco Dolstra b760a4b8d9 * Use the persistent storage udev rules in the initrd so that we can
use /dev/disk/by-{label,id,...} names for the root FS.
* Kill udevd at the end of stage 1.  Don't know how it got killed
  previously...

Eelco Dolstra a33d2f3adc * Use a klibc-based udev. Hopefully this fixes the problems
encountered on x86-64 when udev is compiled against dietlibc.

Eelco Dolstra 63e316ecac * Refactoring: move all the initrd-generation related stuff to
boot-stage-1.nix in order to unclutter system.nix.

Eelco Dolstra abbe260a80 * Don't use modprobe but insmod in the initrd. This means we don't
need module-init-tools in the initrd, since insmod is in klibc.
* Give the installation CD a label.

Eelco Dolstra 4d6548e94c * Use the tools from klibc in the initrd instead of the static-tools.
This makes the initrd a few megabytes smaller.
* Use run-init from klibc to delete everything in the initrd ramfs
  prior to switching to the real root FS.
* Removed the stage2Init argument.

Eelco Dolstra ce250ffb37 * Installation CD: include a lot of modules (SATA, PATA, Firewire,
USB, some SCSI controllers) in the initrd for mounting the CD.
* Add nix-hardware-scan to the system.
* Upstart: don't use the -v flag.
* Include the NixOS version in the ISO image filename.
* Include testdisk and ms-sys in the CD.
* Some bugfixes in the installer.

Eelco Dolstra 49e8829053 * Use unionfs to provide a real Live CD, i.e., the files on the CD
appear writable (though all writes go to a tmpfs).  This allows you
  to run Nix operations on the Live CD.  However, we're not quite
  there yet since the CD doesn't have a valid Nix database.  So for
  instance a garbage collect will cause everything to be deleted,
  hanging the system.

Eelco Dolstra 8cf1eceb0a * Allow multiple file systems to be mounted in stage 1 (i.e., from the
initrd).  This is useful if /nix (which is necessary for stage 2) is
  on a different file system than /.
