Use BusyBox in the initrd
...
Using BusyBox instead of Bash plus a bunch of other tools gives us a
much more feature-full, yet smaller initrd. In particular, BusyBox
contains networking commands such as ip and a DHCP client, useful for
NFS boots. It's also much more convenient for rescue situations
because the shell has builtin readline support and there are many more
tools (including vi).

After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

- Added nixos-build-vms command, which builds a virtual network from a network.nix expression (also used by nixos-deploy-network)
...
- Added a backdoor option to the interactive run-vms script. This allows me to intergrate the virtual network approach with Disnix
- Small documentation fixes
Some explanation:
The nixos-build-vms command line tool can be used to build a virtual network of a network.nix specification.
For example, a network configuration (network.nix) could look like this:
{
test1 =
{pkgs, config, ...}:
{
services.openssh.enable = true;
...
};
test2 =
{pkgs, config, ...}:
{
services.openssh.enable = true;
services.xserver.enable = true;
}
;
}
By typing the following instruction:
$ nixos-build-vms -n network.nix
a virtual network is built, which can be started by typing:
$ ./result/bin/run-vms
It is also possible to enable a backdoor. In this case *.socket files are stored in the current directory
which can be used by the end-user to invoke remote instruction on a VM in the network through a Unix
domain socket.
For example by building the network with the following instructions:
$ nixos-build-vms -n network.nix --use-backdoor
and launching the virtual network:
$ ./result/bin/run-vms
You can find two socket files in your current directory, namely: test1.socket and test2.socket.
These Unix domain sockets can be used to remotely administer the test1 and test2 machine
in the virtual network.
For example by running:
$ socat ./test1.socket stdio
ls /root
You can retrieve the contents of the /root directory of the virtual machine with identifier test1

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.

Some cleanups in the activation script:
...
* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
never makes sense not to have it there. It no longer needs to be
declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).

* Added a command `nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader'. This is
...
like `build-vm', but boots using the regular boot loader (i.e. GRUB
1 or 2) rather than booting directly from the kernel/initrd. Thus
it allows testing of GRUB.

space than the root filesystem.
