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.

6c1bb54483 * In the installation CD, make the NixOS/Nixpkgs available as if they
were obtained from the NixOS channel.  "nixos-install" copies this
  to the installed system as well.
* In the installation CD, set GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE to a low value for
  the benefit of memory-constrained environments.

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.

I tested it works for grub2.

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

I run:
svn merge -c -33692 ^/nixos/trunk
And edited the change a bit.

096b7723c8 * Add a command "nixos-version" that prints the version of the

  NixOS channel or from the ISO.

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.

b82c253b24 Add a kernel patch for the efi boot stub to read a config file when booted without arguments, and base removable media booting off of that patch
The patch is currently being discussed on LKML and hopefully will be included
in mainline in some form in the future. Note that booting from the livecd has
to do a lot of work before anything is output to the console, so if the drive
is still busy don't assume the boot has hanged
