I've been running funtoo on it for= the last 5 years or so and everything is okay, the bootloader is GRUB. At first, I tried to surgically snipe (by overwriting) the `grub.cfg` on th= e iso (directly with dd and the offset of grub.cfg on the iso) to not use g= fxmode, to no avail. The file was properly overwritten but it seemed to not= be sufficient. Secondly, I installed the package manager guix on funtoo and tried to creat= e an image myself.=C2=A0 That proved more tricky than I expected because si= nce guix is running on a foreign distro there is no initial system configur= ation... and doing `guix system image -t iso9660 install.scm` fails by tell= ing you that there is no file `install.scm` even though the file is in the = current directory. >From that point, I looked up (with `locate`) the location of `install.scm` = files on my system, and there was a couple in /gnu/store/xxx-guix/.../gnu/s= ystem/, I used the one which looks like this ( https://github.com/lfam/guix= /blob/master/gnu/system/install.scm ). After some fiddling (some deprecated= syntax (targets instead of target) and missing fields (missing description= here [1]), the part with the loopback required an `addresses` field, etc.)= It worked to create an image, but it was still grub. I tried replacing `grub-bootloader` on line 455 by `extlinux-bootloader` an= d added `#:use-module (gnu bootloader extlinux)` at the top of the file. I = could generate an image from that file but as before the bootloader was sti= ll grub. At that point, I tried the various options of grub to modify the gfx resolu= tion (I suspect that grub fails to find the correct resolution of my screen= and stops at the welcome screen), it worked and was reflected in the `grub= .cfg` of the image. Nevertheless, the boot did not proceed any further :( I would really like to try building an image with syslinux/extlinux to see = whether I can go further but I am currently stuck now. I've read this page = [2] but it is still unclear. The generation with the `pine64.scm` file work= s fine but not with my custom file (guix system complains it does not exist= , and the most surprising is that if I copy past the content of my custom f= ile into the `pine64.scm`, the `pine64.scm` file is reported missing...) The last solution would be to overwrite my current distribution by guix and= replace the init system by shepherd.
