I last installed my macbook pre-1.0 so my memory is a bit hazy. My case
was a little different, I wanted a btrfs root on my macbook. In the end
I believe I used a Debian netinstall to get a minimal system, used the
guix-install.sh script and then installed Guix over Debian.
Another option I believe I've used in the past is I've actually taken
the HDD out of my macbook, installed to it, and then put it back inside
the machine.
