Using Guix System, the bootloader declaration doesn't currently seem to
support being installed to multiple drives:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
                 (bootloader grub-bootloader)
                 (target "/dev/sda")
                 (terminal-outputs '(console))))
 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I suggest to change it so that target can be passed a list like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
                 (bootloader grub-bootloader)
                 (target '("/dev/sda" "/dev/sdb"))
                 (terminal-outputs '(console))))
 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is useful when trying to boot a degraded RAID array.

The following patches do exactly this (target becomes the plural
targets).  I tested it on my system, disconnecting the first drive of my
RAID1 array, and could at least boot to GRUB fine (although full boot
failed due to https://issues.guix.gnu.org/40999).

Booting a VM using an image generated from the bare-bones.tmpl template
also worked fine.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] gnu: bootloader: Support multiple targets.

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/40997>.

* gnu/bootloader.scm (<bootloader-configuration>): New 'targets' field.
(%bootloader-configuration-target): New procedure.
(bootloader-configuration-target): Add deprecation warning.
(bootloader-configuration-targets): New procedure.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (install): Access targets via
bootloader-configuration-targets.
(perform-action)[bootloader-target]: Remove unused argument and update doc.
Access targets via bootloader-configuration-targets and fix indentation.
(process-action): Access targets via bootloader-configuration-targets.
Do not provide the unused BOOTLOADER-TARGET argument when applying
`perform-action'.
* guix/scripts/system/reconfigure.scm (install-bootloader-program): Rename
DEVICE argument to DEVICES.  Adjust doc and comment.  Apply `installer' and
`disk-installer' for every DEVICES.
(install-bootloader): Access targets via bootloader-configuration-targets and
rename variable from DEVICE to DEVICES.
* gnu/tests/install.scm: Adjust accordingly.
* tests/guix-system.sh: Likewise.
* gnu/tests/reconfigure.scm (run-install-bootloader-test): Adjust the DEVICES
argument so that it is a list.
* doc/guix.texi: Update doc.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Migrate to the new 'targets' field of
 bootloader-configuration.

The old 'target' field is deprecated; adjust the sources to use the new
'targets' one instead.
