we want to generate the GRUB menu without actually installing GRUB

requires "root (hd0)". For the first, allow boot.loader.grub.device

generated without installing GRUB. For the second, add an option
boot.loader.grub.extraPerEntryConfig to allow commands to be added
to each GRUB menu entry (in this case, "root (hd0)").

cause restarting of jobs to hang indefinitely because the required
"start on" condition never triggers.
For instance, after "stop nfs-kernel-nfsd", "start nfs-kernel-nfsd"
will hang until we do "stop portmap; start portmap". This is due to
the "starting nfs-kernel-nfsd and started portmap" condition in
the nfs-kernel-mountd job. Apparently, because portmap is already
running, the condition "started portmap" never happens because no
event is emitted.

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.
* The ‘filesystems’ and ‘swap’ Upstart jobs are gone. (Support for
encrypted swap devices is temporarily gone.)
* Generate a proper /etc/fstab from the ‘fileSystems’ and
‘swapDevices’ options.
