Make the bootrom load u-boot from the SATA HDD/SSD.
Luckily the I.MX6 SOC is capable of loading u-boot from a SATA HDD/SSD
but it needs to be configured for that.
However it looks like the novena-eeprom utility only somehow does the
former:

Hi Danny!
You may want to try to set "CONFIG_PREBOOT=\"usb start; sata init; part list
sata 0 -bootable devplist\"". I do something similar to execute "dhcp" to
enable booting via tftp.
Maybe take a look at my recent patch¹ as well, which aims to ease such
configuration changes.
Bye

For reference, the config.scm I used was:
(use-modules (gnu) (gnu bootloader u-boot))
(use-service-modules networking ssh desktop)
(use-package-modules bootloaders screen ssh linux)
;;; Note: Maybe better: linux-libre-arm-generic
;;; Note: Novena upstream uses Kernel 3.19

Hi,
I'm still in the process of setting up the Novena as a GNU Mes for ARM build
machine.
Guix system on Novena from sd card finally works.
Now I want to make it boot it from SATA instead.
So I did the following:

Nice! I want one =P
Hi,
can someone with a Novena please do
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
on it?
Also, if applicable, try
$ ls /sys/firmware/efi/vars
.
I'm trying to find a way for the U-Boot installer to detect that it's on a
Novena.

armhf and mips machines usually need custom patches and configuration
that vary from one machine to another. Or at least the armhf and mips
machines that I have access to (Novena and Loongson-based laptops)
require additional patches and custom configuration.
They also typically use bootloa
Thanks for the info!
I wonder what the status of our linux-libre package is on armhf. I
guess we first need a config file for that platform, based on the x86
ones.

Hello,
the following should normally be a blog post; but I do not (yet?) have a blog.
So I am simply using the list and its archive as a place for posting the

For Guix to work, the Novena board needs a kernel option that is disabled
by default. So before installing Guix

Hello,
after receiving my novena, I finally installed guix by the tarball on it.
This part went very smoothly. Then I tried
guix build hello
and gcc, guile and so on were built correctly. But tar failed its tests:
