TL;DR - how to install a Guix system without installing bootloader and
kernel?

Hello!
I am Anderson Torres, a wannabe CS student.

I am playing distrohop with virtual machines, and I found two with
interesting approaches.

- Crux Linux does not package the Linux kernel. If the user wants to update
or modify the kernel, she needs to manually download the source code,
compile and install it - acting like a third party package.

- EasyOS, a somewhat derivative of Puppy Linux, does not package the
bootloader. This is similar to the above: the user is responsible to
install the bootloader and configure it to boot the system.

I want to try both ideas on Guix: a complete system in which both kernel
and bootloader are third party packages not built by Guix.

As a next logical step, I want to create something like two systems with
complementary roles: one to deal with kernel and bootloader, the other to
deal with the remaining packages and configurations.

How can I do it?
