When formatting a nixos usb using my windows machine I noticed that the disk labeling using periods was not compatible with my linux kernel / udev recognition. When labeling a volume NIXOS_14.10 under Windows, it would show up as NIXOS_14_10 on NixOS. This meant that /dev/root would never come up at boot time, preventing the livecd from starting. This patch works around this issue by eliminating any special characters other than underscores. The previous versioning didn't seem all that useful, especially when consdering there are many different version of the year.month named iso.
