Armijn Hemel edbd58ca43 search for NixOS CD, mount it, copy packages onto the target disk for real 
now. Only IDE drives supported so far.

Armijn Hemel 8aaf4e9a75 touch a file "NIXOS" so we can more easily find the NixOS install CD

Armijn Hemel 592b736d33 add modutils, start with code that will find the right CD player our install CD is in.

Armijn Hemel 55cf30623f split fill-disk into prepare-disk (preparing the RAM disk and finding the 
CD player and everything) and install-disk (installing everything)

 2005-08-05 21:56:48 +00:00
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.

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.

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 e6b3f223f6 whoops, not just query for, but actually *build* syslinux :o

 2005-08-02 12:29:23 +00:00
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

 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)

Eelco Dolstra 1f7a8c8ae9 * Started setting up a proper init environment. 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=785
 2004-02-16 09:41:00 +00:00
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.
