Eelco Dolstra f9ac67c67f * Copying manifests is slightly tricky because
download-using-manifests expects that the files in
  /nix/var/nix/manifests are symlinks into the store.

Eelco Dolstra f37b453b19 * nixos-install: Ensure that builds are done by the nixbld users
rather than root.  Also copy all manifests into the chroot so that
  any nix-pull done outside the chroot is "inherited".

Eelco Dolstra 5409e76353 * Disable wicd in the installation CD for now, because it causes
dhcpcd to segfault randomly or give corrupt output.  See e.g.

    http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2380666/nixlog/1/raw

  The problem seems to be that wicd sends a "-k" command to dhcpcd to
  release the interface, which doesn't work well with a dhcpcd that
  handles all interfaces in one process.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 9017ccf9fe Removing the special memtest.nix module for the isos, and using
the same as the usual nixos. I think this trivial change works;
I checked the grub.cfg output generated in the iso_minimal.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 6e281e46b7 I update the name of the memtest entry in grub of the iso images,
because it can be overriden choosing another memtest86.

As an effect of a change in nixpgks, the isos will include
memtest86 4.0a instead of memtest86+ 4.20, only because the 
former is released later, and I deduce it should work better.

Eelco Dolstra 4f4c529979 Stage 1 improvements:
* Load scsi_wait_scan after all other kernel modules to ensure that
  all SCSI device nodes have been created.
* Increase the timeout for the appearance of the root device to 20
  seconds.
* Do a "udevadm settle" just after the root device has appeared to
  make sure that udev isn't accessing the device anymore (hopefully).
  On EC2 (Xen), I've seen fsck on the root fail randomly with "device
  in use" errors.

Shea Levy b82c253b24 Add a kernel patch for the efi boot stub to read a config file when booted without arguments, and base removable media booting off of that patch
The patch is currently being discussed on LKML and hopefully will be included
in mainline in some form in the future. Note that booting from the livecd has
to do a lot of work before anything is output to the console, so if the drive
is still busy don't assume the boot has hanged
