Eelco Dolstra c1295661c4 * Added a command `nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader'. This is
like `build-vm', but boots using the regular boot loader (i.e. GRUB
  1 or 2) rather than booting directly from the kernel/initrd.  Thus
  it allows testing of GRUB.

Eelco Dolstra f1dde44ac1 * Added an action `nixos-rebuild pull' to just pull the Nixpkgs
channel manifest and exit.  Useful if you don't want to use
  nix-channel.

Eelco Dolstra 89ef5c979b * New nixos-rebuild action: "nixos-rebuild build-vm" builds a virtual
machine containing a replica (minus the state) of the system
  configuration.  This is mostly useful for testing configuration
  changes prior to doing an actual "nixos-rebuild switch" (or even
  "nixos-rebuild test").  The VM can be started as follows:

  $ nixos-rebuild build-vm
  $ ./result/bin/run-*-vm

  which starts a KVM/QEMU instance.  Additional QEMU options can be
  passed through the QEMU_OPTS environment variable
  (e.g. QEMU_OPTS="-redir tcp:8080::80" to forward a host port to the
  guest).  The fileSystem attribute of the regular system
  configuration is ignored (using mkOverride), because obviously we
  can't allow the VM to access the host's block devices.  Instead, at
  startup the VM creates an empty disk image in ./<hostname>.qcow2 to
  store the VM's root filesystem.

  Building a VM in this way is efficient because the VM shares its Nix
  store with the host (through a CIFS mount).  However, because the
  Nix store of the host is mounted read-only in the guest, you cannot
  run Nix build actions inside the VM.  Therefore the VM can only be
  reconfigured by re-running "nixos-rebuild build-vm" on the host and
  restarting the VM.

Eelco Dolstra 6802a75076 * nixos-rebuild: replaced some environment variables with options
(e.g. --install-grub instead of $NIXOS_INSTALL_GRUB).  Also support
  some nix-build options (e.g. --show-trace and -j).
