[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
It was recommended in the IRC room that I send this email.
I struggled all yesterday failing to get GRUB (and thus GuixSD) to install
in ways that I was positive had worked before.
Turns out the installation USB had booted UEFI rather than BIOS, so it
refused to install what I understood to be the default (BIOS GRUB), even
though I had done and partitioned everything correctly, and there were no
meaningful hints as to why.
It would be nice if there was a little note about this in the install
guide, something along the lines of, `EFI/BIOS detection for GRUB depends
on how the installation image was booted.' (or whatever it actually does,
I'm not sure really).
Thank you.

This bug is very old and had been forgotten. I do not think it is
relevant anymore. If it is, could you provide moreinfo. Otherwise, I
will close it after the usual 3 weeks delay.
