I changed the following pieces of my config:

  (bootloader (bootloader-configuration
               (bootloader grub-efi-bootloader)
               (target "/boot/efi")))

  (file-systems (cons*
                 (file-system
                  (title 'uuid)
                  (device (uuid "<uuid>"))
                  (mount-point "/boot")
                  (needed-for-boot? #t)
                  (type "ext4"))
		 (file-system
                  (title 'device)
                  (device "/dev/sda1")
                  (mount-point "/boot/efi")
                  (needed-for-boot? #t)
                  (type "vfat"))
                 (file-system
                  (mount-point "/")
                  (options "ssd")
                  (title 'uuid)
                  (device (uuid "<uuid>"))
                  (options "ssd")
                  (type "btrfs"))
                 (file-system
                  (title 'device)
                  (device "tmpfs")
                  (mount-point "/var/guix/temproots")
                  (type "tmpfs"))
                 (file-system
                  (title 'device)
                  (device "tmpfs")
                  (mount-point "/tmp")
                  (type "tmpfs"))
                 %base-file-systems))

And with these changes, I can boot GuixSD again.

The vfat partitions have a shorter UUID, which are not accepted by
Guix.  Is this on purpose?  As you can see in the snippet above, I use
'device for the vfat partition and 'uuid for the other disk-based
partitions.  It would be nice to use UUIDs for every partition.

Thanks for your time.

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen
