by the program /sbin/splash_helper in the initrd and is called even
before /init.
* make-initrd.nix: allow a list of FSOs to be placed in the initrd,
with a symlink to each top-level FSO (e.g., /init,
/sbin/splash_helper, /etc/splash).
* make-initrd.nix: pre-create /proc, /dev and /sys, because
splash_helper needs them.

us to switch between configurations.

* Stage 2: use sysvinit to create a bunch of mingetty's on virtual
consoles 1-6. Show a nice welcoming message. Start syslogd and log
everything to tty10.

`modules-closure.nix' produces a module tree in
$out/lib/modules/VERSION that contains only the modules identified

obviously don't want a copy of the entire kernel module tree in the
initial RAM disk.
