The file contents were taken as a file path. This resulted in a system with a totally broken /etc:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root nixbld 51 22 feb 21:45 bashrc -> /nix/store/gh71a6w50cxrl4124kxfn24yi0b7aaka-useradd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root nixbld 44 22 feb 21:45 nix.conf -> 192.168.1.4(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root nixbld 58 22 feb 21:45 inputrc -> /nix/store/1czhdj7q74dc556frqrh51jyshfsxhl3-bashrc-user.sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root nixbld 51 22 feb 21:45 nsswitch.conf -> /nix/store/qsgsli992hd1g8245d8am9izn9xmw90x-inputrc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root nixbld 20 22 feb 21:45 exports -> /home/sheevaplugroot
Notice that the inputrc has strange contents. In my case, that disabled me to type 's' or 'i' (at least) in any new interactive shell.
If you notice, the 'exports' symlink should point to a store file, which contents had to look like:
/home/sheevaplugroot 192.168.1.4(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
This patch achieves this later behaviour rather than the former.

problems:
- It doesn't support filenames with spaces.
- It inserts a space after the filename when tab-completing in an
"svn" command.
- Many people find it annoying that tab-completion on commands like
"tar" only matches filenames with the "right" extension.
- Lluís reported bash apparently crashing on some tab completions.
We should probably make this optional, and maybe use a subset of the
bash_completion file in the bash distribution that works.

a trick with an open fifo to detect when it goes down.

What I want with this derivation is to allow the sheevaplug nixos to
build a tarball with all the needed files to boot. Then, this can be
unpacked into an SD card, or into a NFS/TFTP server, and then the
user can boot the system with help of the uboot console.
By now, I have only tried to build the tarball in a PC, in order
to develop the nix expressions quicker.
There is nothing written specialy for the Sheevaplug in all this,
by now.

advantage over "scrot" that it also supports taking a picture of the

its default behaviour is to stop the emulator (i.e. suspend the VM).
For automated tests, this is bad, because is makes the VM appear to
hang without any error message. The "werror=report" flag causes
QEMU to report the problem to the VM. As a side effect QEMU exits
very elegantly:
[ 2.308668] end_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector 534400
[ 2.309611] Buffer I/O error on device vda, logical block 66800
