Could you test it in a VM, pass =E2=80=9Cconsole=3DttyS0=E2=80=9D as a kern=
el argument,
and =E2=80=9C-serial stdio=E2=80=9D so that we see all the messages on the =
console?

(You can do =E2=80=98guix system vm=E2=80=99 and then modify the command li=
ne that it
returns.)

> Configuration rollback is really nice BTW ;-)

Isn=E2=80=99t it?  :-)
