I built guix from git master from within a standalone guix install. I
then tried to run 'pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure' using the same
OS configuration, and it failed to install grub.
The error message said "failed to install GRUB on device '/dev/sda'",
which indicates that 'install-grub' raised an exception.

In guix/scripts/system.scm, could you remove ‘false-if-exception’ around
‘install-grub’, and report the backtrace?
Thanks,

Perhaps we should make #:authorize-hydra-key? #t the default?

That helped, and now it successfully updates the grub.cfg file, but now
there's another problem. When it tries to execvp 'grub-install', it
can't find it because PATH is set to:
"/gnu/store/l5815c2iars8scdy82grfjjmxv9ahgv2-shadow-4.1.5.1/sbin"
Here's a transcript of the attempt, with (pk 'path (getenv "PATH"))
inserted just before the (system* "grub-install" ...) call in
guix/build/install.scm:

OK, commit 720ee24 should bring us one step closer. Could you check?
Thanks a lot!

'guix system reconfigure' now works.
I'm closing this bug.
