it allows the `mountall' task to start mounting filesystems as soon

during boot. Mountall ensures that these are done in the right
order. It's informed by udev about devices becoming available. It
emits some Upstart events upon reaching certain states, in
particular ‘local-filesystems’ after all local filesystems have been
mounted successfully, ‘remote-filesystems’ after all network
filesystems have been mounted, and ‘filesystem’ (sic) when all
filesystems have been mounted.
Currently, if a filesystem fails to mount or doesn't exist, then the
mingettys won't start and the boot will appear to hang. This is
because mountall doesn't emit an event for failing filesystems and
waits indefinitely for the filesystems to become available.

machine can now declare an option `virtualisation.vlans' that causes
it to have network interfaces connected to each listed virtual
network. For instance,
virtualisation.vlans = [ 1 2 ];
causes the machine to have two interfaces (in addition to eth0, used
by the test driver to control the machine): eth1 connected to
network 1 with IP address 192.168.1.<i>, and eth2 connected to
network 2 with address 192.168.2.<i> (where <i> is the index of the
machine in the `nodes' attribute set). On the other hand,
virtualisation.vlans = [ 2 ];
causes the machine to only have an eth1 connected to network 2 with
address 192.168.2.<i>. So each virtual network <n> is assigned the
IP range 192.168.<n>.0/24.
Each virtual network is implemented using a separate multicast
address on the host, so guests really cannot talk to networks to
which they are not connected.
* Added a simple NAT test to demonstrate this.
* Added an option `virtualisation.qemu.options' to specify QEMU
command-line options. Used to factor out some commonality between
the test driver script and the interactive test script.

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.
