Thank you very much. I have had a play, and it looks very helpful.

There is one small problem though: I want to use the nilfs2 filesystem, and
kickstart does not support it out of the box. Is there any way to pass some
option to tell nixpart and kickstart that nilfs2 is a valid filesystem type ?
When I specify a filesystem of type nilfs2 in the kickstart file, nixpart
just ignores it (it does not even complain about it). If I change the
filesystem type (e.g. to ext3), then nixpart will create it.
