Eelco Dolstra d72ba42187 * Revert to GRUB 1 as the default. The switch to GRUB 2 seems to
cause more problems than expected, so we should probably think about
  the proper migration path for a while.  In the meantime, of course,
  everybody is encouraged to set boot.loader.grub.version = 2.

Eelco Dolstra d659488209 * Use the regular GRUB menu builder for Amazon. There are two issues:
we want to generate the GRUB menu without actually installing GRUB
  (because Amazon supplies its own pv-grub), and each menu entry
  requires "root (hd0)".  For the first, allow boot.loader.grub.device
  to be set to "nodev" to indicate that the GRUB menu should be
  generated without installing GRUB.  For the second, add an option
  boot.loader.grub.extraPerEntryConfig to allow commands to be added
  to each GRUB menu entry (in this case, "root (hd0)").

Eelco Dolstra a65b5ec81c * Added an option boot.loader.grub.extraConfig to add commands to
grub.cfg before the menu entries.  (This could also be done using
  `extraEntriesBeforeNixOS', but then you can't have entries *after*
  the main entry anymore.)
* In the installer test, redirect GRUB output to the serial port.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 093b51a562 Removing references to linux kernel 'vmlinuz', and making them point to 'bzImage'.
That should match with a related change in nixpkgs.

Eelco Dolstra deb4f88c2c * Let the GRUB menu builder detect whether /boot is on a different
partition from /.  If so, copy the kernels and initrds to /boot and
  use paths relative to /boot in the GRUB configuration file.  This
  makes the boot.loader.grub.bootDevice option obsolete.  (Is there a
  way to mark obsolete options?)  It also makes it unnecessary to set
  boot.loader.grub.copyKernels, although that option is still
  available since it can speed up GRUB if the Nix store is very
  large.

Eelco Dolstra 8d588424d2 * switch-to-configuration: force a reinstallation of GRUB whenever the
GRUB version changes.  (That's the complete version from the name
  attribute, not the boot.loader.grub.version attribute.)  The current
  version is recorded in /boot/grub/version.  This is required to
  prevent massive breakage when we change the default value of
  boot.loader.grub.version to "2".

Eelco Dolstra 79bcc7618e * Make the graphical boot work on GRUB 2 in the case where /nix/store
is not on the same partition as /boot (i.e. when
  boot.loader.grub.bootDevice is set): just copy the background image
  and the font to /boot.

Nicolas Pierron 8c5b200164 * boor.loader.grub.device can only be defined once.
* Replace an obscure piece of code by its equivalent based on the
  recursiveUpdate function.  Undefined the obsolete name of
  boot.grubDevice to avoid conflicts.

Eelco Dolstra 636a9e7e32 * Add rename clauses for the old Grub options.
* Renamed some of the new Grub options to more sensible names
  (e.g. extraGrubEntries to extraEntries, bootMount to bootDevice,
  etc.).

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 75f6cd20da Making modular my previous changes for armv5tel. I updated the way to use
grub. Its options are no more inside 'boot', but inside 'boot.loader.grub'.
I added a new bootloader configuration for nixos, generationsDir. It creates
/boot/default/{init,initrd,kernel,system} symlinks, and the same for the generations
in /boot/system-$gen/{init,initrd,kernel,system}.

I can program the u-boot loader to load /boot/default files always, and have
a minimal nixos boot loader installer functionality. Additionally, I can refer
to the other system generations easily, with a simple 'ls' in /boot.

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.
