If it fails without --skip-checks, it is `guix system reconfigure --skip-checks /path/to/your/config.scm`. Please try without --skip-checks first.

When I boot to usb my ssd disk is showing like /dev/sdb, but when I boot from ssd disk it is /dev/sda, so this config does not work. And this ubiquitous option was not described in manual.
