I've got some code now that works!
#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
(define (auto-login-to-tty tty user config)
(if (string=? tty (mingetty-configuration-tty config))
(mingetty-configuration
(inherit config)
(auto-login user))
(mingetty-configuration
(inherit config))))

remove that?

I agree, but we should also probably fix the manual:
10.1 Using the Configuration System
===================================
System Services
For example, suppose you want to modify ‘guix-daemon’ and Mingetty
(the console log-in) in the ‘%base-services’ list (*note
‘%base-services’: Base Services.). To do that, you can write the
following in your operating system declaration:
(define %my-services
;; My very own list of services.
(modify-services %base-services
(guix-service-type config =>
(guix-configuration
(inherit config)
;; Fetch substitutes from example.org.
(substitute-urls
(list "https://example.org/guix";
"https://ci.guix.gnu.org";))))
;; it looks like the manual is telling you to set up
;; auto login on ALL ttys.
(mingetty-service-type config =>
(mingetty-configuration
(inherit config)
;; Automatially log in as "guest".
(auto-login "guest")))))
(operating-system
;; ...
(services %my-services))
How about I delete that section in the manual about automatic login and
instead add this to the cookbook?
Section Title: Setting up automatic login for one tty
The interested hacker, who wishes to set up automatic login to tty three
can use the following code snippet:
#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
(define (auto-login-to-tty tty user config)
(if (string=? tty (mingetty-configuration-tty config))
(mingetty-configuration
(inherit config)
(auto-login user))
(mingetty-configuration
(inherit config))))
(operating-system
(host-name "dobby")
...
(services
(cons*
(modify-services %base-services
(mingetty-service-type config =>
(auto-login-to-tty "3" "joshua" config))))
