NixOS now boots, but mounts the filesystem read-only, filesystem is dirty,
etc.

Armijn Hemel bc3ffa3458 get NixOS more towards an installable state. Stuff now actually gets installed on the disk itself. Missing is functionality to detect the right drive with
the install CD in it.

2005-08-05 13:48:22 +00:00
Armijn Hemel c785eeaaec add stubs for creation of the installer via Nix expressions, similar to the
bootscripts and initscripts. This will mean lots of cruft from the current
fill-disk.sh can be removed.

2005-08-04 22:57:13 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 8151b78162 add necessary packages. Now it works and we have to decide:
- either add the device with mknod
- use hotplug to build all devices dynamically

Armijn Hemel 81bfae51f7 - set timeout for isolinux to 1 minute
- copy util-linux to ramdisk
  TODO:
   - do this with other tools as well in a bit more generic way

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3524
2005-08-03 18:14:47 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 93bcd71b15 This update fixes a few critical errors:
- cd to the right directory when making the initramfs image (stupid stupid stupid mistake, cost me a day of work!)
- make a bunch of devices inside the ramdisk
- copy the kernel and all modules to the CD image
- set the #! line in fill-disk to the right place (as in, append /bin/sh, another stupidity, which was luckily easily spot after fixing the first mistake, which was far more important)

Armijn Hemel 9c56696e75 support for initrd. Right now the image is *WAY* too big, so it boots with
a kernel panic. initrd should be brought back to a few megabytes instead
so it can be safely unzipped in memory.

Ideas:
- klibc instead of glibc
- leave out a lot of packages in the initrd:
  - gcc
  - linux-headers
  - ...
- have a minimal "stage 1", which mounts the CD (figure out how) and
remounts part of the CD on /nix and /nixpkgs

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3298
2005-07-06 14:42:41 +00:00
Armijn Hemel b31d4e8079 copy nixpkgs, so it reflects what was built. This code uses a simple "cp -a"
so there is a race condition (nixpkgs being altered after the build). However,
with a bit of care and "policy" this should work ;-)

Also push all packages we want to push at once.

Armijn Hemel 1e607c9221 rewrite nixu scripts to use nix-push. Install the whole NixU environment in
two main steps:

1 - first build everything (nix-push)
2 - install everything on a seperate disk/machine (nix-pull)
