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

 2005-08-12 16:26:51 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 8aaf4e9a75 touch a file "NIXOS" so we can more easily find the NixOS install CD 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3546
 2005-08-11 14:06:04 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 592b736d33 add modutils, start with code that will find the right CD player our install CD is in.

Armijn Hemel 2ed7eb698b invoke install-disk (untested) 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3534
 2005-08-05 22:07:34 +00:00
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)

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3533
 2005-08-05 22:05:35 +00:00
Armijn Hemel 9babae1704 split fill-disk in two parts 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3532
 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.

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3531
 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.

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3526
 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

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3525
 2005-08-04 14:45:27 +00:00
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 45492df16b reduce the size of the initrd a lot 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3514

Armijn Hemel e6b3f223f6 whoops, not just query for, but actually *build* syslinux :o 
svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3511
 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

svn path=/nixu/trunk/; revision=3502
 2005-08-01 17:30:45 +00:00
Armijn Hemel b9617c9541 we need parted in the installer and on the target disk for sure...

Armijn Hemel ec898a881e build kernel and copy it to the diskimage. Now all there is left is an 
initial ramdisk.

Armijn Hemel 1054efb792 apart from nixpkgs also copy the NixU scripts 
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.

 2005-07-05 14:39:12 +00:00
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 3514c5658b * Proper sysvinit boot/halt. At runlevel 2, creates login shells at 
virtual consoles 0 and 1.  To shutdown, do `init 0' (`halt' and
