Doing so (and doing 'guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm') results
in the following error:
/etc/config.scm:29:22: error: device 'root-part' not found: No such
file or directory

However replacing "root-part" in your suggestion with
"/dev/mapper/root-part" (as suggested for mapped devices in File
Systems (sec. 6.2.3) of the manual) avoids above error. It seems that
the manual example config.scm with mapped-devices needs to be
corrected in the above manner.

But the pesky original issue of user-homes and term-auto services
could not be started remains even after specifying
"/dev/mapper/root-part". Does the error have something to do with my
using just a single (encrypted) partition for everything (including
/home)?
