Nicolas Pierron cf103b8d4d Add 2 index file to define the default case for detected and not-detected
devices.  These are used to replace hand made listings in the basic
installation CD.

The configuration file, which is generated by nixos-hardware-scan, enables
not-detected devices by default.

Eelco Dolstra c4f910f550 * Substitute the path of the system derivation directly in the stage 2
init script.  This removes the need for the `systemConfig' boot
  parameter; `init=<stage-2-init>' is enough.  However, the GRUB menu
  builder still needs to add `systemConfig' to the kernel command line
  for compatibility with old configurations.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 1dd3162d7c First attempt at trying to get a tarball of a bootable nixos system.
What I want with this derivation is to allow the sheevaplug nixos to
build a tarball with all the needed files to boot. Then, this can be
unpacked into an SD card, or into a NFS/TFTP server, and then the
user can boot the system with help of the uboot console.
By now, I have only tried to build the tarball in a PC, in order
to develop the nix expressions quicker.

There is nothing written specialy for the Sheevaplug in all this,
by now.

Eelco Dolstra e4e408293e * Modularise the building of the installation CD/DVD. The module
iso-image.nix contains the minimal stuff necessary to build a
  bootable ISO image containing the given configuration.  The idea is
  that this can be customised by providing additional modules, e.g. to
  add extra packages to the image.

  The ISO image is exported in the configuration attribute
  system.build.isoImage.  So it can be built as follows:

  $ nix-build lib/eval-config.nix \
      --arg configuration 'import ./modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image.nix' \
      -A config.system.build.isoImage
