by the program /sbin/splash_helper in the initrd and is called even before /init. * make-initrd.nix: allow a list of FSOs to be placed in the initrd, with a symlink to each top-level FSO (e.g., /init, /sbin/splash_helper, /etc/splash). * make-initrd.nix: pre-create /proc, /dev and /sys, because splash_helper needs them. svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=7144

# Create an initial ramdisk containing the closure of the specified
