root=... kernel command line parameter, instead of hard-coding it in
`fileSystems'. This is to allow CD-to-USB converters such as
UNetbootin to rewrite the kernel command line to the label or UUID
of the USB stick.

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)").

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.

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.

to the nixpkgs trunk 'kernelPackages'.
Seeing a strange kernelPackages mentioned in installation-cd-rescue (2.6.31_something) I
update that to 2.6.32.

is done by instantiating a webserver that simulates nixos.org.
Using nix-push we create a channel that contains some stuff (namely
the GNU Hello source tarball and the rlwrap program). This was a
bit tricky because nix-push requires a writable Nix store. Using
AUFS this is possible, but not on recent Linux kernels (AUFS1 over
CIFS fails).

installation-cd-minimal.nix is now 2.6.32. Added most of its extra
tools to installation-cd-base.nix.
* Put memtest86 at the bottom of the GRUB menu. (There is currently
no good way to do this other than to change the module inclusion
order.)

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.

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".
