startup when catting /proc/mount to /etc/mtab.

initrd instead of a mix of dietlibc, klibc and static-glibc based
binaries. This works by copying what we need from Glibc into the
initrd and using patchelf to set the ELF interpreter and RPATH
correctly. The resulting initrd is about 500 KB smaller, but more
importantly, it's much easier to maintain - all those
dietlibc/klibc/static-glibc builds frequently cause build problems.

that the file system driver will replay the journal at
mount-time in case of an unclean shutdown. For ext3 at least
this is *much* faster.

on my system when booting Linux 2.6.27, ide-generic fails with
"Cannot allocate memory" (maybe because ata_piix already claimed the
IDE devices?).

surprised when I rebooted my system and it started deleting all
of /tmp (which, for instance, contained some test DB/repos for
the Subversion server)...

the device to mount appears. This wasn't previously possible
because of root devices specified by label (mounted via "mount
LABEL=foo ..."), but now we use /dev/disk/by-label so we can easily
test whether the device already exists.

This makes the initrd a few megabytes smaller.

to run Nix operations on the Live CD. However, we're not quite
there yet since the CD doesn't have a valid Nix database. So for
instance a garbage collect will cause everything to be deleted,
hanging the system.
