configure the host name.

e68fc42aa3 * Prototyping a bit: first class options. We want the configuration
of NixOS to be specified externally from the main Nix expressions
  (since an installation would be hard to maintain if users started
  editing the NixOS expressions directory).  But to make that
  user-friendly we need:

  - Hierarchical options (just like the Nixpkgs configuration).
  - Option descriptions from which documentation can be generated.
  - Validation (e.g., does each option exist? does it have a valid
    value?).
  - The option declarations should be inside the Nix expressions to
    which they are relevant (rather than, say, one big file with option
    declarations).

NIXOS_INSTALL_GRUB is set (which we do in the installer).

3a70748bb5 * Show a splash screen during booting. The splash screen is displayed
by the program /sbin/splash_helper in the initrd and is called even
  before /init.
* make-initrd.nix: allow a list of FSOs to be placed in the initrd,
  with a symlink to each top-level FSO (e.g., /init,
  /sbin/splash_helper, /etc/splash).
* make-initrd.nix: pre-create /proc, /dev and /sys, because
  splash_helper needs them.

  from consoles to themes is specified in splash-themes.nix.

2cccff268d * Pass the path of the stage 2 init script to stage 1 init through the
kernel command line, instead of having a /init symlink.  This allows
  us to switch between configurations.
* Some debug support: adding `debug' to the kernel command line gives
  a stage 1 shell.
