This is an internal configuration from NixOS. This is what is used by
the NixOS stage-1 to mount the special filesystems.
It would be dumb not to rely on the same!
This allows a single boot/init build to be re-used across devices, and
more importantly, across rebuilds when only configuration changes.
This also removes the need to hardcode some annoying paths that are
better served through configuration, to their natural store paths.
Though this is a bit buggy and less than ideal.
A better solution would be a custom wrapper that only handles
redirecting. This is, anyway, something that would be required to
redirect all logging to all consoles.
