b825169404 Add kexec support
You can now do a fast reboot (bypassing the BIOS, which may take
several minutes on servers) by running ‘systemctl kexec’.

Unfortunately the QEMU test for this is unreliable due to a QEMU bug
(it randomly crashes with a message like ‘Guest moved used index from
8 to 0’), so it's commented out.

ae4e94d9ac Rename ‘boot.systemd’ to ‘systemd’
Suggested by Mathijs Kwik.  ‘boot.systemd’ is a misnomer because
systemd affects more than just booting.  And it saves some typing.

93a7a32bab initrd: Don't enable the root shell by default
Starting an authenticated root shell is a security hole, so don't do
it by default.  The kernel command line parameter
‘initrd.shell_on_fail’ restores the original.  (Of course, this only
improves security if you have a password on GRUB to prevent the kernel
command line from being edited by unauthorized users.)

    ];

as

  fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/sda1";
