I think I'd like to use disk-image but a number of things were unclear
from the documentation:
1. What and how many partitions are created?
Reading the -t parameter I assume it's an image with just 1 root
partition. If I need UEFI will an efi partition be created?
2. How can I refer to the creat
The manual talks about standard services vs shepherd services, but
doesn't really discuss which either are. My impression is a standard
service is simply a process guix runs on the system (at startup, based
on the graph?), where a shepherd service is a process that is managed
(may be manually star
So it looks like the root uuid might be generated, but from what I read
vfat uuids are translated from a partition serial number that isn't
manipulated in the guix source so getting uuids beforehand might be
impossible.
Both the root and efi partitions get a label, so I might be able to use
those

Ah, I'm totally for that! I thought though if my previous post wasn't
over the line, s
age object which is "lowered" and becomes a string of
the path to the directory:
`/gnu/store/bqmib4vf9mr8dkqx4dqpcqrnb93giwci-dash-0.5.10.2`
`(shell ...)` needs a path to an executable (the shell program), that
is: `/gnu/store/bqmib4vf9mr8dkqx4dqpcqrnb93giwci-dash-0.5.10.2/bin/dash`
Therefore you need the string-append or file-append expressions to add
the final "/bin/dash". See the examples from my previous email.
Cheers,
