Hello Efraim and Vagrant,

thank you for your help so far. I still have problems booting from nvme. 
This is my guix situation:

I'm attaching the configuration I used, this is the command:

$ guix system image --image-type=pinebook-pro-raw --system=aarch64-linux libre.scm
/gnu/store/r02skdx8jq35mdhh0l8sij423ksqk0hm-disk-image

$ sudo dd if=/gnu/store/r02skdx8jq35mdhh0l8sij423ksqk0hm-disk-image of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync


but what I got after choosing nvme is in the pinebook-pro-raw.jpg I 
attached.

Then I noticed that in your configuration [0] you mention the format 
efi-raw, so I tried:

guix system image --image-type=efi-raw --system=aarch64-linux libre.scm
   

which gives me

guix system: error: EFI bootloader required with GPT partitioning


What am I doing wrong :( ? Again, thank you for the time you are putting 
in this.
