1aa35c8267 * Instead of adding all of util-linux to the initd, add just mount
(and nuke its references so that we don't get glibc etc.).  The
  initrd is now 3.2 MB (and that includes the entire staticTools from
  the stdenv bootstrap, most of which we don't actually need).

a94dd5c8b1 * Given a kernel build (with modules in $kernel/lib/modules/VERSION),
`modules-closure.nix' produces a module tree in
  $out/lib/modules/VERSION that contains only the modules identified
  by `rootModules', plus their dependencies.  It also generates an
  appropriate modules.dep.  This is useful for initrds, as we
  obviously don't want a copy of the entire kernel module tree in the
  initial RAM disk.

23381ed03f * Add the module tools, util-linux and the kernel modules to the
initrd.  Of course, the next step is to only add the kernel modules
  that we're going to need.

2d31e1b6d6 * A minimal boot script for stage 1 of the boot (loading kernel
modules).  The closure of the boot script is all we need in the
  initrd.
