c1295661c4 * Added a command `nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader'. This is
like `build-vm', but boots using the regular boot loader (i.e. GRUB
  1 or 2) rather than booting directly from the kernel/initrd.  Thus
  it allows testing of GRUB.

f1dde44ac1 * Added an action `nixos-rebuild pull' to just pull the Nixpkgs
channel manifest and exit.  Useful if you don't want to use
  nix-channel.

1a0bb65901 * Added a regression test for whether the Nixpkgs channel works. This
is done by instantiating a webserver that simulates nixos.org.
  Using nix-push we create a channel that contains some stuff (namely
  the GNU Hello source tarball and the rlwrap program).  This was a
  bit tricky because nix-push requires a writable Nix store.  Using
  AUFS this is possible, but not on recent Linux kernels (AUFS1 over
  CIFS fails).

401fd84ae1 kvm installation test update + NixOS installation archive
You can run the kvm nixos installation test by:
  nix-build --no-out-link tests/test-nixos-install-from-cd.nix
It boots the installed system.
It still fails sshd isn't started (yet)

adding nixos-bootstrapping-archive:
You can install NixOS easily using any live cd now.

a07e90d6f3 Update the documentation:
* Change the module syntax of the example to follow Eelco's suggestions.

* Add a section "Building your own NixOS CD", which explain how to replace
configuration.nix by the configuration file of a live CD/DVD.

* Fix "Testing the installer" and "Testing the initrd" to fit the location
of derivations.

89ef5c979b * New nixos-rebuild action: "nixos-rebuild build-vm" builds a virtual
machine containing a replica (minus the state) of the system
  configuration.  This is mostly useful for testing configuration
  changes prior to doing an actual "nixos-rebuild switch" (or even
  "nixos-rebuild test").  The VM can be started as follows:

  $ nixos-rebuild build-vm
  $ ./result/bin/run-*-vm

  which starts a KVM/QEMU instance.  Additional QEMU options can be
  passed through the QEMU_OPTS environment variable
  (e.g. QEMU_OPTS="-redir tcp:8080::80" to forward a host port to the
  guest).  The fileSystem attribute of the regular system
  configuration is ignored (using mkOverride), because obviously we
  can't allow the VM to access the host's block devices.  Instead, at
  startup the VM creates an empty disk image in ./<hostname>.qcow2 to
  store the VM's root filesystem.

  Building a VM in this way is efficient because the VM shares its Nix
  store with the host (through a CIFS mount).  However, because the
  Nix store of the host is mounted read-only in the guest, you cannot
  run Nix build actions inside the VM.  Therefore the VM can only be
  reconfigured by re-running "nixos-rebuild build-vm" on the host and
  restarting the VM.

c46dc8ad10 * Fix nixos-hardware-scan. BTW the model is now to do something like
$ nixos-hardware-scan > /etc/nixos/hardware.nix

  and import the hardware.nix module in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.
  That way you can easily rescan for new hardware.

c3ea825c23 * Fix installing from the modular branch. system/system.nix no longer
exists.  $NIXPKGS needs to be set, otherwise NixOS can't find
  Nixpkgs (because in the chroot it's in /mnt/etc/nixos/nixpkgs).
  Also clear LANG to shut up Perl warnings about the locale.
