[PATCH 0/1] Fix docs on Installing GuixSD in a VM

[Leo Famulari]

From what I can tell, there is a mistake in these instructions. I can't
find any QEMU documentation that mentions using '-net default', and I've
seen a few reports on #guix of it failing.

Here is the most recent:

I remember stumbling on this too. This change LGTM.
