(As reported by Adam Pribyl <pribyl@lowlevel.cz>.)

As of v0.6-598-g66c2703, =E2=80=98guix system init=E2=80=99 first builds st=
uff in the
current store, which is typically a RAM disk when booting from the USB
stick, and then copies the result to the target.

The problem is that RAM is typically finite.
