- various cleanups
...
- have mingetty listen on tty2 (but this still fails because of missing /dev/log
- get rid of /init on the targetdrive, solely use /sbin/init (and even that has to go one day)
- use dietlibc statically linked e2fsprogs for the installer. More to come :)

- make /lib/modules/<hash-part>-<kernelversion>
...
- make symlinks to "build" and "kernel" in those directories
- copy all modules.* files (like modules.dep). This is done so future add-on
modules can modify these files instead of the ones in the store...
Since the Nix hash is embedded in the path, this can still be considered
safe and it makes modprobe work automagically.
