Eelco Dolstra 91a5fe9eb0 * Networking now works in the UML machine. Masquerading for the tun
device should be enabled on the host in order for the UML machine to
  be able to talk to the Internet.

Eelco Dolstra 3514c5658b * Proper sysvinit boot/halt. At runlevel 2, creates login shells at
virtual consoles 0 and 1.  To shutdown, do `init 0' (`halt' and
  `shutdown' don't work because they call /sbin/init).

Eelco Dolstra 008ef42267 * init -> boot, to prevent confusion.

Eelco Dolstra 1e87e75d07 * Use sysvinit's init to start the system. This has the happy
side-effect of initialising the console properly (i.e., enabling
  Ctrl-[C, Z]).

Eelco Dolstra 1f7a8c8ae9 * Started setting up a proper init environment.

Eelco Dolstra e019265ec9 * Scripts to set up and run the absolute minimal pure Nix
environment; that is, an operating system environment in which there
  is (essentially) only a store.

  The script `make-disk.sh' creates an ext2 disk image, creates a Nix
  store in it, and copies the closure of the bash package (from
  nixpkgs) to it.  The script `run.sh' then starts bash in a UML
  virtual machine.

  The contents of the image after creation look like this:

  $ ls -l
  drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 2004-02-14 19:13 dev
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           61 2004-02-14 23:34 init -> /nix/store/e40873ece7a010752ad72b4262b23d28-bash-2.05b/bin/sh
  drwx------    2 root     root        12288 2004-02-14 19:13 lost+found
  drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         1024 2004-02-14 19:13 nix
  drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 2004-02-14 19:13 proc
  drwxrwxrwt    2 root     root         1024 2004-02-14 19:13 tmp

  The next step is to add all the other stuff that goes into a working
  system (coreutils, etc.).  BTW, if you don't have `ls' you can still
  list directories by doing `echo *' :-)

  Nix itself should also be Nixified so that it can be put into the
  store.
