The meaning of 'device' depends of 'title', whose default value is
'device.  So right now Guix looks for a node under /dev, but there is no
/dev/system.

You probably forgot to add (type 'label), if "system" refers to the file
system label name.  Or alternatively you could use (device "/dev/sdaX").

You can have a look at
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#index-file_002dsystem
for more details.

Good luck!
