bug#35856: Unable to boot on iMac, likely because of UUIDs

When I have inserted a device recorded with a GuixSD image in my Late 2009 iMac (EFI, not UEFI) during boot, the computer gets stuck in a loop and doesn't respond. I believe this is due to a lack of, or duplication, of UUIDs (not to be confused with PARTUUIDs) on some partitions, as manually assigning them allows my computer to properly detect the attached devices and boot from the GuixSD one (although not successfully).

> udisksctl loop-setup -rf guix-system-install-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.iso
Mapped file guix-system-install-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.iso as /dev/loop0.

> sudo blkid -o list | grep ^/dev/loop0 | cut -d" " -f1 | sort
/dev/loop0
/dev/loop0p1
/dev/loop0p2
/dev/loop0p3
/dev/loop0p4

> sudo blkid -s UUID | grep ^/dev/loop0
/dev/loop0: UUID="1970-01-01-19-49-46-83"
/dev/loop0p2: UUID="C920-B8AE"
