I think the only ones are currenly =E2=80=98--load=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98--roo= t=E2=80=99, and=20 =E2=80=98--repl=E2=80=99. The latter allows for some very rudimentary debu= gging=20 and fixing but it's not exactly pleasant. In keeping with Guix's idiosyncratic syntax, one could add=20 =E2=80=98--rescue=E2=80=99 and corresponding menu entry to only mount the r= oot=20 filesystem and spawn the current system's bash shell.
