Think, manual should have notices about it for those not want to use label of device. Using /dev/sda is perhaps not reliable when you have plugged in other hard drives or storage media. The manual should not recommend /dev/sda in my opinion. > Also if I do not use separate partition for bios grub, guix says that it is not allowed (but on my other laptop i have only one partition for root and grub). Please file bugs with information what was needed to make Guix work, if you have the time. :) It is helpful and important work. I believe not all developers have time to read help-guix (and am not knowledgeable enough and do not see myself as a Guix developer). In particular, it is a bug if the graphical installer does not work for you. I wish you a good time with Guix. Regards, Florian
