Ah, ok. The only reason I thought it might be wrong was because it  
didn't work right away. I actually figured out the problem (the lack  
of a home directory) as I was writing the email.

My partition layout has separate /, /home, /boot. I specified these in  
config.scm, but should I have also mounted them (or at least /home)  
before system init?

Thanks,

Andy
