Hello fellow Guix folks!
I'm planning a switch to a Guix system and have a question i couldn't
answer myself - is it possible to keep just the grub.cfg instead of full
GRUB install? I'd rather have GRUB installed as a payload with Coreboot
and maintain it's configuration with `guix system`, so that the whole
disk could be encrypted.
I'd appreciate any tips!

Hello Vasilii!
I had this very same situation, as I am using libreboot which has grub payload. You can use the following code snippet for your "bootloader" part of your system configuration.
(bootloader
(bootloader-configuration
(bootloader
(bootloader
(inherit grub-bootloader)
(installer #~(const #t))))))
This will generate and manage "grub.cfg" without installing grub bootloader on your disk. Thanks to Guix Folk, Clement, who helped me with that code.
Regards,
RG.
