+@subsec= tion Building the Installation Image for ARM boards
+
+Many ARM boards require a board-specific bootloader in order to boot.
+
+If you build an entire disk image and the is not still available otherwise=
+(on another available drive etc), it's advisable to build an image tha= t
+includes the bootloader, specifically:
`and the' = seems to miss something after it.=C2=A0
+
+@example
+guix system disk-image --system=3Darmhf-linux -e '((@ (gnu system inst= all) os-with-u-boot) (@ (gnu system install) installation-os) "A20-OLi= nuXino-Lime2")'
+@end example
+
+Or if you don't cross compile:

nit= pick: I do not like contractions in writing, but if we already use them els= ewhere, disregard this ;-).
+
+@example
+guix system disk-image -e '((@ (gnu system install) os-with-u-boot) (@= (gnu system install) installation-os) "A20-OLinuXino-Lime2")'= ;
+@end example
+
+"A20-OLinuXino-Lime2" is the name of the board.=C2=A0 If you spe= cify an invalid
+board, you get a list.

Could you clari= fy what you mean when you say you get a list?

Thanks for working = on this! I really want to see GuixSD on ARM succeed as well.
