142cef0a9e switch to dietlibc coreutils in the initrams. Use thit up until a certain point, after which we switch to the normal coreutils. Oh, this should really be refactored...

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 :)

fff45e114e - register all valid paths inside the Nix database. The .drv files are not included, this is a purely binary deployment.

240a2de945 - 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.

93bcd71b15 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)
