So in essence, GRUB itself supports only one platform at a time? >> Now there are things I didn’t quite get.

My understanding is that it would install for UEFI if it fines /boot/efi or if --efi-directory is passed. BTW, as far as I’m concerned, most of the other patches are ready: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-11/msg00303.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-11/msg00304.html Could you push them? The remaining issue is how to run fsck for vfat. Currently I still have a preference for something like what I suggested at: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-12/msg00095.html Thoughts? Thanks! Ludo’.
