This would be a nice feature to have in the future when all there will be is UEFI (bioses).

UEFI is already supported.

Is this the latest Guix version (1.1.0)?  What kind of machine did 
you try it on, and which error (if any) did you get?  Does the 
same installer boot and run fine when booted in CSM (‘legacy’) 
mode?  Could you try a different model of USB drive (this once 
‘solved’ it for me)?

Kind regards,

I've installed Guix on UEFI systems before; it should definitely work.
Could you provide more details on what you tried exactly and what errors
you've encountered?

Thanks,

Maxim

maybe not all [1][2] :)
-- though GPT improves on MBR IMO,
but you don't absolutely need UEFI BIOS code to parse that.

The part, well one part :), I'm not clear on is format compatibility
for data stored in BIOS nvram -- e.g. efibootmgr/UEFI vs coreboot fs (CBFS)

Wondering, is coreboot[1] on anyone's radar in guix-land?

There are more than a few Guixers who use it (or its derivative 
Libreboot).  It is also supported :-)

No news, and as mentioned up-thread, this is already supported.  Please
open a new issue with the details of what you tried if you still
encounter problems.

Closing.

Thank you!
