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

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

* 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...

...
encountered on x86-64 when udev is compiled against dietlibc.

boot-stage-1.nix in order to unclutter system.nix.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

initrd). This is useful if /nix (which is necessary for stage 2) is
on a different file system than /.
