Nicolas Pierron a07e90d6f3 Update the documentation:
* 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.

Eelco Dolstra 2892aed712 * lib/eval-config.nix: combined "configuration" and "extraModules"
into one argument "modules".
* release.nix: fixed the manual job.
* ISO generation: break an infinite recursion.  Don't know why this
  suddenly happens.  Probably because of the nixpkgs.config change,
  but I don't see why.  Maybe the option evaluation is too strict.

Eelco Dolstra 11c603c3fb * Fix booting from CD. 60-persistent-storage.rules requires some
variables set by 60-cdrom_id.rules.

Eelco Dolstra 25dbf1594e * Updates for the new udev and util-linux-ng: fsck is now in
util-linux-ng instead of e2fsprogs, blkid is in util-linux-ng, and
  we need to manually create /dev/.udev prior to starting udevd for
  some reason.

Ludovic Courtès ac29ad197b stage-1-init: Remove timeout from `fail()'.
Timeouts upon failure can be harmful, e.g., after a file system failure
that needs manual intervention.

Eelco Dolstra 0b39f614e9 * Don't wait for CIFS "devices" (//share/path) to appear since they
won't.  This speeds up booting from CIFS a lot.

Eelco Dolstra 0f6d7c8862 * Use insmod from module_init_tools in the initrd, since the latest
klibc no longer has it.

Eelco Dolstra da77a6437f * qemu-vm.nix: automatically create and initialise the disk image if
it doesn't already exist.  Also set up some ad hoc port forwarding
  from the host to the guest.

Eelco Dolstra 9460a30851 * Use the fileSystems option to mount the host filesystem. Also, it
seems that mount.cifs isn't actually needed (anymore?).

Eelco Dolstra e08e7aedbc * Option boot.initrd.postMountCommands to specify additional shell
commands for in stage 1 of the boot.

Eelco Dolstra 16937dd23d * Make fsck on journaling filesystems optional (enabled by default).
This is because fsck.ext3 takes several minutes to recover the
  journal, whereas the ext3 implementation in the kernel only takes a
  few seconds.  I'd love to know why this is the case...

Eelco Dolstra 1cea6b09ef * Compress the Nix store on the CD using squashfs. This reduces the
size of the i686-linux ISO image from 463 MiB to 147 MiB.  Hopefully
  it also speeds up installation due to reduced seek time and larger
  block sizes, but I haven't tested that yet (on real hardware).

Eelco Dolstra e940f1fbd7 * Cleaned up the error messages in the stage 1 init script.
* Use the basename from coreutils rather than a bash hack.

Eelco Dolstra 0a0260514d * Renamed boot.localCommands to boot.postBootCommands since it wasn't
such a good name (local to what?).

Eelco Dolstra 3c6ae39a0d * Refactoring: moved some options out of system/options.nix (almost
empty now), do more of bashrc.sh declaratively, and moved nsswitch
  generation to modules/config/nsswitch.nix.

the initial ramdisk as config.system.build.bootStage1.
