This leaves the system unbootable (fixable, but unbootable). This patch is an attempt to help users understand the relationship between their partition labels and the GuixSD file-system configuration. I adapted /etc/configuration/bare-bones.scm when I made the mistake. I'm sure many users will adapt these example configurations for their first installation, so these edits primarily address those users. Thoughts?
