Yes, I was told the same when I asked in irc. I think that should be underlined in the manual because it is very confusing. I was really wondering what I was doing wrong. In fact, I should have read the code directly.

I've been able to install archlinux which uses syslinux as its bootloader, I plan to keep the base install of archlinux in a first time and guix for the rest, and when I am be a bit more familiar with guix and can confidently generate a syslinux based bootloader configuration I'll use `guix system reconfigure` as you suggested.
I've tried other grub based live-usbs, and all fail at the same point whatever the setup of GRUB so I think this is a GRUB bug (probably introduced fairly recently because my previous bootloader was GRUB and it worked perfectly).
Regards,
Paul
