47761d0bd0 * Make some more SCSI device nodes. Quick hack to get NixOS running 
on itchy.  We really should run udevd in boot stage 1.

device.

11e4d36db1 * Look for the CD-ROM in /sys/block, not /sys/devices. Don't look for 
a "media" file since SCSI CD-ROM drives don't have it (and
  supposedly it's going away in IDE too).
* Create the device node automatically from the "dev" file in
  /sys/block/$bla.

f25ce41c18 * Option boot.doHardwareScan to disable the hardware scan. Also, if 
the flag "safemode" is specified on the kernel command line, also
  disable the hardware scan.
* Option boot.kernelModules to specify a set of modules to be loaded
  in stage 2 (in addition to the initrd modules in
  boot.initrd.kernelModules).

3e7f4280df * activate-configuration.sh: make sure that we're running on a NixOS 
installation to prevent horrible accidents.
* Add the kernel parameters to isolinux.cfg.
* Use useradd/groupadd to create users/groups; use Glibc's getent to
  check for existence.
* Create the root account properly.

9986bda673 * Move the stuff in boot-stage-2-init.sh that doesn't have to happen 
at boot time into a separate script.  This will allow us to change
  the configuration without rebooting (provided that the configuration
  doesn't have a different kernel, init, etc.).

78767321ce add something so we modprobe some stuff for at least one family of USB 
controllers (uhci-hcd). This is of course not very elegant: even if a
machine does not have USB, or another USB controller this module will loaded.
A better way would be to let some hardware probing program run first, but
that is "future work"

fe355bba78 replace a lot of tools we initially use with statically linked versions. 
This reduces the ramdisk installer size with a few megabytes when gzipped,
but with about 40 MB when unpacked in memory.

There are a few improvements possible:

- strip the binaries. This saves another few MBs.
- only copy the binaries we really need to /bin or /sbin. This could reduce
the size of the installer a lot, especially with util-linux, of which we
don't use that many tools at all.
- try to move some packages we link with glibc right now (like util-linux) to
dietlibc. This will not work for bash, already tried that.
- try to use busybox as a replacement for everything.

de289092b2 - various cleanups 
- have mingetty listen on tty2 (but this still fails because of missing /dev/log
- get rid of /init on the targetdrive, solely use /sbin/init (and even that has to go one day)
- use dietlibc statically linked e2fsprogs for the installer. More to come :)
