29b05fb62a * nixos-checkout: add an argument to specify the directory where the
sources should be stored.  E.g. "nixos-checkout /home/eelco/srcs"
  will check out to /home/eelco/srcs/{nixos,nixpkgs}.  Probably the
  /etc/nixos default should be removed eventually because /etc is a
  pretty weird place to keep large source trees.

918edf8612 I think this makes the memtest module work on grub1.
But I can't test it because grub-install fails for me for grub1.

2ca7e8a43e Reverting 33692, because memtest in the iso was failing.
I set the grub entry for memtest to read "Memtest86", as suggested by Eelco.

5409e76353 * Disable wicd in the installation CD for now, because it causes
dhcpcd to segfault randomly or give corrupt output.  See e.g.

    http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2380666/nixlog/1/raw

  The problem seems to be that wicd sends a "-k" command to dhcpcd to
  release the interface, which doesn't work well with a dhcpcd that
  handles all interfaces in one process.

6e281e46b7 I update the name of the memtest entry in grub of the iso images,
because it can be overriden choosing another memtest86.

As an effect of a change in nixpgks, the isos will include
memtest86 4.0a instead of memtest86+ 4.20, only because the 
former is released later, and I deduce it should work better.

4f4c529979 Stage 1 improvements:
* Load scsi_wait_scan after all other kernel modules to ensure that
  all SCSI device nodes have been created.
* Increase the timeout for the appearance of the root device to 20
  seconds.
* Do a "udevadm settle" just after the root device has appeared to
  make sure that udev isn't accessing the device anymore (hopefully).
  On EC2 (Xen), I've seen fsck on the root fail randomly with "device
  in use" errors.

20b364f4de Reverting revisions 30103-30106: "always set nixpkgs.config.{state,store}Dir", etc.
After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

0a1fee9ec8 * Add a module for the Broadcom firmware. Also, add it to the
installation CD (though the kernel on the CD is not recent
  enough yet to actually support the device).  (This is kind of
  an abuse of "not-detected.nix".)

The rt73 firmware has disappeared from the upstream server, and we don't
have a new URL yet.
