After the partitioning I get the error in the attached screen shot. ( mount "/dev/sda1" on "mnt/boot/ef" : No such device) I had Linux installed already on this computer and would not need to re-partition. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks for the report. This should be fixed with: 245cab2abc1fd74d1df489e500432c66c88f6b25. The issue was that the installer could not mount FAT16 partitions. Could you regenerate an installation image by running the following command: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ./pre-inst-env guix system image -t uncompressed-iso9660 gnu/system/install.scm --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and confirm that it fixes your issue?

Regarding Wifi support, you can have a look to: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Hardware-Considerations.html.
