Eelco Dolstra 49e8829053 * Use unionfs to provide a real Live CD, i.e., the files on the CD
appear writable (though all writes go to a tmpfs).  This allows you
  to run Nix operations on the Live CD.  However, we're not quite
  there yet since the CD doesn't have a valid Nix database.  So for
  instance a garbage collect will cause everything to be deleted,
  hanging the system.

# root file system, then calls /init in the root file system to start
# the second boot stage. The closure of the result of this expression
# is supposed to be put into an initial RAM disk (initrd).
