Does GuixSD by the way support dropping to a root shell by passing 
"single" as a kernel parameter? I once used a distro that had a feature 
like that.

Ubuntu supports dropping to a root shell (and memtesting RAM?) among 
more options if "recovery" is choosen in the grub menu. I like that 
feature. If something like that had been possible on this old 
GuixSD-installation I would not have had to resort to chrooting.
