Eelco Dolstra b825169404 Add kexec support 
You can now do a fast reboot (bypassing the BIOS, which may take
several minutes on servers) by running ‘systemctl kexec’.

Unfortunately the QEMU test for this is unreliable due to a QEMU bug
(it randomly crashes with a message like ‘Guest moved used index from
8 to 0’), so it's commented out.

Eelco Dolstra ae4e94d9ac Rename ‘boot.systemd’ to ‘systemd’ 
Suggested by Mathijs Kwik.  ‘boot.systemd’ is a misnomer because
systemd affects more than just booting.  And it saves some typing.
 2013-01-16 12:33:18 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra c7b427fbca Give our kernel parameters a common prefix ("boot.*") 2013-01-09 22:53:44 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 93a7a32bab initrd: Don't enable the root shell by default 
Starting an authenticated root shell is a security hole, so don't do
it by default.  The kernel command line parameter
‘initrd.shell_on_fail’ restores the original.  (Of course, this only
improves security if you have a password on GRUB to prevent the kernel
command line from being edited by unauthorized users.)

as

Eelco Dolstra 29b05fb62a * nixos-checkout: add an argument to specify the directory where the 
sources should be stored.  E.g. "nixos-checkout /home/eelco/srcs"
  will check out to /home/eelco/srcs/{nixos,nixpkgs}.  Probably the
  /etc/nixos default should be removed eventually because /etc is a
  pretty weird place to keep large source trees.

Eelco Dolstra 846cb81234 * Comment out the "Configuration in home directory" chapter.

  manually create symlinks) that properly belongs in the issue tracker
  or wiki, not in the manual.
