Attempting to install GuixSD as I have before (upgrading to guile@2.2 was
being finicky, so I decided to just do a full fresh install), but today I
encounter this:

> grub-install: error:
/gnu/store/..grub-2.02/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please
specify --target or --directory.
> guix system: error: failed to install GRUB on device '/dev/sda'

/dev/sda is GPT.
/dev/sda1 is a BIOS boot partition.
modinfo.sh actually does exist in /gnu/store/..grub-2.02/lib/grub/i386-pc/
where it should be - So I'm confused as to why it's trying to do the EFI
version when the default should be normal BIOS GRUB.

Hopefully this is just something small and dumb on my end.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
