Eelco Dolstra d74caf133a * Idem.

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 /.

Eelco Dolstra cb10364838 * Use a diet udev in boot stage 1 to create the device nodes in /dev.

Eelco Dolstra 74783a4510 * More refactoring; move some of the boot time options into the
options framework.

Eelco Dolstra acf656125c * Lots of refactoring.
* Clear the PATH in most scripts.  This helps to ensure purity.
