The boot tests import test-instrumentation.nix directly to create a VM image that only contains things such as the backdoor and serial console the same way as used by other NixOS VM tests. With one difference though: It doesn't need nor want to have 9p filesystems mounted, because we actually want to test an image rather than re-using most stuff from the host's store. Change tested against the boot.uefiUsb and ipv6 tests, just that it becomes clear we don't break either the tests with 9p nor the boot tests (which were already broken but now succeed).

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
