3055ff0ae6 * Don't use /sys/class/net/*/operstate to find out the active interface,
since there seems to be a delay after the interface is brought up before
  operstate reflects that.

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.

0b26af2188 * The installer now installs a configuration on the target device that
boots into stage 1 (kernel+initrd) succesfully.
  
  `system-configuration.nix' contains the definition of the
  configuration to be installed.  The attribute systemConfiguration is
  installed into the profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/system.  Then the
  program /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/bin/switch-to-configuration is
  called to finalise the installation.  This program (generated by
  system-configuration.sh) installs Grub on the drive with a menu that
  contains the entry for the desired kernel and initrd.

  In principle this allows us to do rollbacks to previous system
  configurations by doing `nix-env --rollback' and then calling
  switch-to-configuration to update Grub.  Ideally this should be done
  in a single command (and we should consider the obvious risk of
  garbage collecting the current kernel etc. to which the current Grub
  menu points...).

  Maybe the responsibility for generating the Grub menu should be
  placed somewhere else.  For instance, we could generate a Grub menu
  automatically out of all the generations in the `system' profile.

afc05314c4 * The installer now takes a user-specified Nix expression that will be
built in the target Nix store and installed in the "system" user
  environment.  Not quite sure what should go in there, but probably
  the kernel, initrd, the boot scripts and eventually the system
  services.  Maybe grub as well.
