Are there better ways? Most of my arm installs were done by installing the guix binary release on Debian and then "guix system init" onto another partition, and then marking the appropriate partition as bootable. > In this special case of a build machine, we did not want to run the > build on the (moreover small) sd card, so we bind mounted (why that? a > normal mount would have been enough, I think) /tmp and /gnu/store from > an external hard drive.

Yes, I would recommend installing Guix System directly to SATA, since u-boot can boot from SATA partitions marked bootable (either MBR or GPT though what GPT calls it I forget), and SATA will perform better, of course. live well, vagrant --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYKAB0WIQRlgHNhO/zFx+LkXUXcUY/If5cWqgUCX0/lcwAKCRDcUY/If5cW qtLeAPwInsjFiumZ0gTlwyS5bzZUIPW6w0cnfU3j9ev0IswB9QD/VHtcxDEudg7j 5GNXTtJHZtaP3nkW9UAxlWg07eR97Qg= =1QmP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
