e876f67580 pass nano. Not that it actually works, because it also needs ncurses for terminal information...

1323e55ad3 remove the root(hd0,0) line, because it wasn't needed. At least, not in our 
situation. I don't know how it will it work with something like dual booting
and chain loading, so that is unsupported right now :P

65742f6eb9 refactor install process: 
* user is dropped into a shell, where the user can run tools like fdisk to partition a disk
* user needs to add a file called "disklayout" where it specifies SWAP, INSTALLDEVICE and TARGETDRIVE
* depending on the values of these the installscript might need to be fixed to get the GRUB configuration right

It's still somewhat inflexible, but it gives the user a bit more control than the old scheme

ddc27b2313 use "kernelscripts" package to install the kernel and extra modules. This is 
actually bad, because in theory a different kernel could be chosen to be
installed and then we could not load any modules...but even communism
works...in theory!

493661f880 This is a major big update for the install process for NixOS. This requires 
the latest patches to Nix itself, which were committed the last few days.

Biggest changes:

make-disk.sh:
* use nix-push to generate NAR files and a manifest
* use only copy a "few" packages (but probably still too many than we want) to the Nix store on the CD

fill-disk.sh:
* use nix-pull to register a manifest with a lot of packages. Only copy and
register as valid the few packages that are in the Nix store on the installer
CD, install the rest via nix-env and other tools (this needs to be reviewed
thoroughly for optimizations).

All in all the install process is a lot cleaner now, the login script is broken
however (but should be relatively easy to fix with some Nix wizardry). NIX_ROOT
is still broken, but we can work around most issues with relative ease now.

e76efef0d0 make sure we always have mktemp, by building our own version first using Nix. 
This makes it a bit more pure to build the NixOS iso. Still room for improvement though...

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"
