Out of curiosity how do you boot GuixSD on the grub command line?

The only way I know how to do it is:

set root=(hd0,1)  ; wherever your root partition is
linux /gnu/path/to/vmlinuz-linux-libre root=/dev/sda1
initrd /gnu/path/to/initramfs-linux-libre.img
boot


In arch linux, I know where those paths are: /boot, but it GuixSD those
paths are usually buried in /gnu/some/crazy/path...
