Hi Martin and Jelle,

An already available option would be to override the grub-installer like
this :
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define no-op-installer
#~(lambda (bootloader device mount)
(display "no op")))
(bootloader (bootloader
(inherit grub-bootloader)
(installer no-op-installer))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I admit this is not ideal, so I would propose two options :
* Allow for target field to be #f and do not call the installer when
this happends.
* Precise the --no-bootloader parameter of guix system to deal with
multiple cases, for example :
--bootloader=[default|no-config-file|no-install|...]
WDYT ?
Mathieu
