de1713a24f Failing when the top level system expression cannot find the kernel image

9bf8801dc6 * Use a tmpfs for /var/run/nscd to ensure that / or /var can be
unmounted or at least remounted read-only during shutdown.  Upstart
  0.6 apparently uses nscd to do some name lookups, resulting in it
  holding some mmap mappings to deleted files in /var/run/nscd.
  E.g. lsof shows:

    init         1 root  DEL       REG              253,0          1850313 /var/run/nscd/dbyn3Piz
    init         1 root  DEL       REG              253,0          1850312 /var/run/nscd/dbt2e8PH

  See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=324900.
  This is a workaround - it would be better if Upstart didn't do this.

8c5b200164 * boor.loader.grub.device can only be defined once.
* Replace an obscure piece of code by its equivalent based on the
  recursiveUpdate function.  Undefined the obsolete name of
  boot.grubDevice to avoid conflicts.

11022e8d9f * Back out r17946 and 17948 because it doesn't work. I've seen it
fail to update /etc twice now.  It's also unnecessarily complex
  IMHO (see nix-dev).

893f13bb14 Some boot optimisations attempted. My system boots a few times faster now, and I cannot see how these can break things.

5dfaf565bf * On the CD or on a newly installed system, create the root account
with an empty password, rather than with a hashed empty password.
  The latter is a security risk, because it allows remote root logins
  if a user enables sshd before setting a proper root password.
* Allow empty passwords for login and slim, but nothing else.

636a9e7e32 * Add rename clauses for the old Grub options.
* Renamed some of the new Grub options to more sensible names
  (e.g. extraGrubEntries to extraEntries, bootMount to bootDevice,
  etc.).

75f6cd20da Making modular my previous changes for armv5tel. I updated the way to use
grub. Its options are no more inside 'boot', but inside 'boot.loader.grub'.
I added a new bootloader configuration for nixos, generationsDir. It creates
/boot/default/{init,initrd,kernel,system} symlinks, and the same for the generations
in /boot/system-$gen/{init,initrd,kernel,system}.

I can program the u-boot loader to load /boot/default files always, and have
a minimal nixos boot loader installer functionality. Additionally, I can refer
to the other system generations easily, with a simple 'ls' in /boot.

f9cfe7c4ee * The activation script can't use /bin/sh as its interpreter because
it creates the /bin/sh symlink, which may not exist yet (esp. when
  booting from CD).

ec55562ec3 * Move the configuration of the pwdutils (passwd, useradd etc.) to
modules/programs/pwdutils.
* Renamed config.system.shell to config.users.defaultUserShell and
  updated the description to make clear it has to be a non-store
  path.

98cce35041 * Turn the top-level derivation of a NixOS configuration ("system")
into a NixOS module (modules/system/activation/top-level.nix -
  couldn't think of a better name).  The top-level derivation is
  returned in config.system.build.system.
* Inlined system.sh in top-level.nix so that we don't have to pass
  everything through environment variables.
