Because guix relies on pivot_root, it doesn't work in initramfs. Could it
be modified to use something else (chroot? switch_root?) to allow for this?

Could you clarify what you’re doing?  You’re trying to run guix-daemon
and guix in the initramfs of some distro, is that correct?

I don’t think guix-daemon can do away with ‘pivot_root’ though.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

The clarification was not provided after 15 weeks.  Closing.
