39ac293b58 * Create setuid wrappers for a few programs (su and passwd). This is
still a bit ad hoc, but it works.

89df039e35 * store the value of hotplug in /etc/sysconfig/hotplug and cat this value
to /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug during boot. (FIXME, install hotplug during
install of NixOS)
* /dev/input is created by udev

78767321ce add something so we modprobe some stuff for at least one family of USB
controllers (uhci-hcd). This is of course not very elegant: even if a
machine does not have USB, or another USB controller this module will loaded.
A better way would be to let some hardware probing program run first, but
that is "future work"

fe355bba78 replace a lot of tools we initially use with statically linked versions.
This reduces the ramdisk installer size with a few megabytes when gzipped,
but with about 40 MB when unpacked in memory.

There are a few improvements possible:

- strip the binaries. This saves another few MBs.
- only copy the binaries we really need to /bin or /sbin. This could reduce
the size of the installer a lot, especially with util-linux, of which we
don't use that many tools at all.
- try to move some packages we link with glibc right now (like util-linux) to
dietlibc. This will not work for bash, already tried that.
- try to use busybox as a replacement for everything.

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 :)

1e607c9221 rewrite nixu scripts to use nix-push. Install the whole NixU environment in
two main steps:

1 - first build everything (nix-push)
2 - install everything on a seperate disk/machine (nix-pull)

virtual consoles 0 and 1.  To shutdown, do `init 0' (`halt' and
  `shutdown' don't work because they call /sbin/init).
