Yours might need to be different. Specially, I make sure to add the GuixSD image as a USB storage device =E2=80=94 using= the sections `[drive "stick"]', `[device "xhci"]' and also the `driver =3D "usb-storage"' in the lone `[device]' section. I also make sure to add the internal storage as the first drive, perhaps this is the issue with your command.
