I just realized it’s actually possible: if you add an account with
UID 0, then that account is the root account.
So you can write:
(operating-system
;; …
(users (cons (user-account
(name "this-can-be-root-or-something-else")
(uid 0)
;; …
(shell (file-append zsh "/bin/zsh")))
…)))
… and you get a root account with the chosen name and shell.
Does it work for you?
I’ve clarified the situation:
