Hi,
I'm trying to create a disk image of my current laptop running guix to burn
to a usb stick and use it to install guix on another laptop.
I use the command:
$ guix system disk-image laptop-config.scm
However the process fails after some time with:

This looks like a LANG / locale problem. These question marks should be
some other characters. Since they are not the files cannot be found.

I think the key issue here was GRUB failing to install itself.
Did you eventually find out wha was going wrong?
It looks like ‘grub-efi’ was chosen whereas the VM is actually “legacy
BIOS”, not EFI.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
