It compiles, and I can boot the new configuration without any trouble.

Next, I added an NFS filesystem:

      (file-system
        (device "192.168.56.1:/home/hinsen")
        (mount-point "/host/home/hinsen")
        (create-mount-point? #t)
        (type "nfs"))

For "device" I put the string that I would also give to "mount" as an
argument. That's perhaps completely wrong. After rebooting, I get the
error message

  No file system check procedure for 192.168.56.1:/home/hinsen; skipping

So I added

        (check? #f)

to the file system specification. Another reboot, more error messages:

  Service udev has been started.
  failed to start service 'ncsd'
  failed to start service 'guix-daemon'
  ...

plus many others. The only services that start are "udev" and
"loopback".  I can't log in.

Configuration rollback is really nice BTW ;-)
