I have an identical setup, and the problem is that the parameters file
contains "(store (device #f))".  You can confirm this by `cat
/var/guix/profiles/system-9-link/parameters`.

This patch fixes the parameters generation, but you have to move away
the profile symlinks that contains the broken parameters file before you
can use `guix system` again).

Subject: [PATCH] system: Recognize device titles when creating boot
 parameters.

This solves a problem where the store device would be #f in profile
parameters when not using uuid or labels.

* gnu/system.scm (fs->boot-device): Add case for when FILE-SYSTEM-TITLE is
a "device".

I wasn't sure if this solution is correct in the general case, as I also
get a warning from GRUB "/dev/mapper/foo-root is not a valid boot
device", but that is probably another issue.
