We use this to set various sysctl settings, like setting kernel.printk=1
so we don't get the screen all crudded up with kernel messages during
text-mode installs.
There's a small amount of additional metadata required for the Mac boot
images to appear as bootable devices in the startup preferencs, so add
support for generating that.

Since noloader mounts stuff under /run/install, but anaconda (and
people's scripts etc.) look under /mnt/install, make a symlink so
everything works as expected.
Install the anaconda dracut module during 'install', use it when
rebuilding initramfs, and clean it up afterward.
Also install '.buildstamp' into the initramfs (the anconda module wants
it).
In order for grub to be able to read the kernel regardless of whether
the image is written to a CD or a USB stick, it's necessary to autoprobe
for the filesystem using the findiso command. Add it to the grub config.
The installer no longer has access to the initrd's root. We need to
copy any needed files over to /sysroot before switching root. This
copies *.cfg and *.ks files.
It also adds the ability to add dracut hook scripts to the initramfs
from /usr/share/lorax/dracut_hooks/
This re-adds commit af6d4e2c50 which was
lost during the switch to the treebuilder branch.
This doesn't get rid of the gtk2 stuff yet, though. The intention here is
that you can use this lorax to generate an image containing either the old
anaconda or the newui branch, simply by including a different repo in your
tree composition kickstart file.
Also, it appears that some things in the tree still require gtk2 so we may
be stuck with both for the forseeable future.
If yaboot so much as catches a whiff of a backslash in yaboot.conf, it
will reject the entire file. No bootloader config means no booting.
So as long as we're still using yaboot on PPC, we need to use ISO volume
labels it can handle. So: filter the isolabel, replacing any non-ASCII
characters with underscores.
So there's actually two copies of yaboot on a PPC image, and they each
use different config files:
ppc/chrp/yaboot --> /etc/yaboot.conf
ppc/mac/yaboot --> /ppc/ppc{32,64}/yaboot.conf
So we need two copies of yaboot.conf - one in each place - to
boot properly (or all three if we're making hybrid images). Whee!
The comments should now make this more clear for future reference.
We were appending to /etc/shadow when previous versions of lorax
overwrote it, so we ended up with two conflicting entries for "root".
Instead:
- keep existing /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd contents
- add new entries for "install" user
- remove password from existing "root" entry in /etc/shadow
Also, we don't need to create the 'sshd' user, because the
openssh-server %post script does that for us.
