Lluís Batlle i Rossell 4bc0bfec4c Making the system-tarball-pc boot fine with PXE, and include help files and a
readme file as examples for an easy PXE setup.

This allows booting the NixOS in the system tarball, and thus allows installing nixos.

Eelco Dolstra 6ee609a0a3 * On the installation CD, set the overcommit heuristic to "always
overcommit".  This makes it less likely that the installer fails
  randomly in low memory environments.

disappeared.  Hopefully it's not important :-)

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.

  UNetbootin to rewrite the kernel command line to the label or UUID

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.
