- 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 :)

- make /lib/modules/<hash-part>-<kernelversion>
...
- make symlinks to "build" and "kernel" in those directories
- copy all modules.* files (like modules.dep). This is done so future add-on
modules can modify these files instead of the ones in the store...
Since the Nix hash is embedded in the path, this can still be considered
safe and it makes modprobe work automagically.

This update fixes a few critical errors:
...
- cd to the right directory when making the initramfs image (stupid stupid stupid mistake, cost me a day of work!)
- make a bunch of devices inside the ramdisk
- copy the kernel and all modules to the CD image
- set the #! line in fill-disk to the right place (as in, append /bin/sh, another stupidity, which was luckily easily spot after fixing the first mistake, which was far more important)

support for initrd. Right now the image is *WAY* too big, so it boots with
...
a kernel panic. initrd should be brought back to a few megabytes instead
so it can be safely unzipped in memory.
Ideas:
- klibc instead of glibc
- leave out a lot of packages in the initrd:
- gcc
- linux-headers
- ...
- have a minimal "stage 1", which mounts the CD (figure out how) and
remounts part of the CD on /nix and /nixpkgs
