It is based on the current installation image, and it accepts a Guix
System configuration
template, so it works on systems that Guix System can currently operate on.
Right now the bootloader configuration is limited to that what the
autopartitoning in the
installer does for the option 'All in one partiton', which means that
UEFI or legacy is
autodetected, and installed accordingly. Does that answer you question?
