Glad it worked out for you!
You could also create a menu entry something like:
menuentry "load guix grub configuration" {
configfile (hd0,gpt2)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
}
This way, you don't have to update the grub menu every time you update
guix's configuration... or even worse, if you delete the generation that
happened to be hard-coded in your grub.cfg. You can maybe add a similar
entry in guix's grub menu to boot Devuan from guix's grub menu too.
You might want to get fancy and use the "search" command rather than
hard-coding "(hd0,gpt2)" though I'm not sure exactly how to pull that
off, since grub.cfg isn't a unique filename. Maybe using uuid or
partuuid or something like that.
Of course, feel free to experiment, or not!
live well,
vagrant
