Hi,
I am trying to create bootable image on GCE using guix. It leads to
following error.
============================================================
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be
installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are
UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
guix system: error: failed to install GRUB on device
'/dev/disk/by-id/google-rowhit-guixsd-template-00'
==============================================================
I tried finding some references which shows how to forcibly write grub
using blocklists. However, I am not sure how to do it with guix system.
Thanks,
Rohit

It seems you’re installing GRUB to a file system (“embedding”) instead
of installing it to the MBR. Is it intended?
