Based on your feedback I’ve come up with the two attached patches.  I’ve
checked at the REPL that ‘operating-system-uuid’ gives reasonable
results for different ‘operating-system’ configs, and deterministic
results for a given config (OSes that are not ‘eq?’ but that are equal.)

On ext4 “guix system disk-image” produces an image that works like a
charm.

With iso9660, it works… by chance, because GRUB’s “search --fs-uuid”
fails.  Guess why?  Because it compares UUIDs as strings, and we format
it as a DCE UUID instead of an ISO UUID.  Sounds familiar no?  :-)

So that’s where we are.  Thoughts on how to address it?

Cheers,
