I want to run Guix on Apple M1 as a Qemu virtual machine.
I think I may be one of the few (only?) guix users that has a
setup like this. IIRC getting grub setup with qemu was the one
trickier parts of this. Feel free to ping me directly if you're
having trouble.
On the Mac machine I run arm64 dedian image. I installed there
guix as a
package manager. Now I am trying to create a guix system image
to use
with Qemu, but it fails.
This is also how I got my guix system on qemu setup. For the
record, I initially tried fedora but iirc, selinux was causing
some difficulties.

I don't know where to look to fix this error. Please, help me.
This is the relevant issue
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/60719. Unfortunately until this is
fixed, guix system won't build since grub-efi depends on
qemu-minimial which in turn (recently) depends on
openbios-qemu-ppc. Fortunately this can be worked around, and I
posted how I'm working around this for now on that issue. Maybe
this will also work for you.
Also, I thought I could find somewhere arm64 guix build, but
apparently
there is none?
It's been awhile since I've looked into the current status of
building guix system installer images for aarch64 but this is the
issue I have in my notes that was blocking this last time I looked
into it: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/41120
