I have now removed the DVD and made a live USB with the guix-system-install-1.0.1.i686-linux.iso image.
Selecting the live usb at (what I believe to be) the EFI leads to the GuixSD LiveUSB image's GRUB, replete with the GUIXSD logo.
Setting the acpi=off boot option in the GuixSD LiveUSB image's GRUB leads to the same log that is 
pasted in my previous email, quoted above.  When I saw the identifier for the DVD drive again in the log,
I double-checked to make sure that my previous DVD was not in the drive. Nope, it's in a vinyl CD case.

David Stumph (the author of the video) is using lubuntu 16.04 in the video.  He attempted 18.10
but that resulted in a kernel panic.  I also see a kernel panic without setting acpi=off
in the grub boot options. In case someone in the future is searching for this issue, the kernel panic message is
>%----------begin pasted text----------------->%
Kernel panic - not syncing: Timeout: Not all CPUs entered broadcast exception handler
Shutting down cpus with NMI
Kernel Offset : 0x8000000 from 0xc1000000 (relocation range: 0xc0000000-0xf7dfdfff)
Kernel rebooting in 30 seconds
