Sorry it took so long. It took me some significant time yesterday to
figure out how the high-level 'virtual-machine' interface actually
starts QEMU guests, but I did eventually boot a marionette with an image
produced by 'system-qemu-image' and was greeted by the same error, so I
suspect that the SSH issue isn't being caused by a read-only store.

In a Guile REPL, I created a VM image with something like the following:

#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
(use-modules ...)

(define os
  (marionette-operating-system
   (simple-operating-system
    (service dhcp-client-service-type)
    (service openssh-service-type
             (openssh-configuration
              (permit-root-login #t)
              (allow-empty-passwords? #t))))))

(with-store store
  (run-with-store store
    (mlet* %store-monad ((image (system-qemu-image os #:disk-image-size (* 3600 (expt 2 20))))
                         (_ ((store-lift build-derivations) (list image))))
      (return
       (begin
         (display (derivation->output-path image))
         (newline))))))
#+END_SRC

I proceeded to start it with 'qemu-sytem-x86_64' to get obtain the
system's store path from 'dmesg', created a writeable image with
'qemu-img' à la 'qemu-command/writable-image', and then passed the
equivalent of the following as the command for 'make-marionette':

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
export QEMU=/gnu/store/sw2rrqmjij73wcy3ajd47ypvmzh12yz6-qemu-3.1.0/
export SYSTEM=/gnu/store/rk5yy9xhxbl9zbqs78kzgxmmxd72zsq0-system/

$QEMU/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -drive file=/home/jakob/test.img,if=virtio \
    -kernel $SYSTEMkernel/bzImage \
    -initrd $SYSTEM/initrd \
    -append "console=ttyS0 --root=/dev/vda1 --system=$SYSTEM --load=$SYSTEM/boot" \
    -enable-kvm \
    -no-reboot \
    -net nic,model=virtio \
    -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=guixsd-vm-rng \
    -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=guixsd-vm-rng \
    -vga std \
    -m 256 \
    -net user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22
#+END_SRC

Where '/home/jakob/test.img' is the writeable image that 'qemu-img'
produced. Running 'make check-system TESTS=ssh-deploy-os yields the same
error:

I was also able to verify that the store was writeable by staring the VM
with the same parameters and running 'guix -i hello'.

Apologies for not having something more easily reproducible -- a lot of
this configuration came about by running the QEMU tools from the shell.
If desired, I can clean it up into a proper commit and push it to my
feature branch.

Regards,
Jakob
