`git describe`
v0.16.0-4215-g1aa662b309

Following the instructions in "3.9 Building the Installation Image" of
the manual, I can create an iso with this command:
`guix system disk-image --file-system-type=3Diso9660 gnu/system/install.scm`

After booting the iso I see:

* Grub welcome message
* Grub menu with one option
* blinking underscore with no prompt

Once the blinking underscore starts nothing else happens and it does not
respond to keyboard input.

I created the iso on a x86_64 Guix System.

I am trying to use the iso to install Guix System on a i686 computer.
It is nice that Guix System can run on i686.

I think I may need a flag or argument for the above command that to
create an iso for i686.  However looking at "8.14 Invoking =E2=80=98guix
system=E2=80=99" and "8.14 Invoking =E2=80=98guix system=E2=80=99" of the m=
anual it is not clear
what it would be.
