Hi!

Please test the USB installation image at:


http://www.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/software/guix/guixsd-usb-install-0.9.0pre.x86_64-linux.xz
  SHA1: 0d7f37d5b18f7b4437b447fc8a90b44c470f6e99

http://www.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/software/guix/guixsd-usb-install-0.9.0pre.x86_64-linux.xz.sig

This is for x86_64 and the installation instruction still apply:

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/System-Installation.html

… but tty2 in the installation image provides the latest version of the
manual, with slightly different examples (notably with an encrypted root
partition.)
Hi!  I test this install image using qemu by:

qemu-system-x86-64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -hda guixsd-usb-install* -hdb disk.img

Follow the manual to setup encryted root, using the desktop.scm template, but
at the final step, it failed with:

  Path '/mnt/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot.
  Installation is impossible. Aborting.

(can be reproduced by `grub-install /dev/sdb --boot-directory /mnt/boot')

After search, it seems that an un-encrypted boot partition is needed:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#Preparing_the_boot_partition

So, I run fdisk to add a boot partiotion, finally install finished!

But it can't boot, I have to mount the encrypted root in Grub's cmdline:

  insmod cryptodisk
  insmod luks
  cryptomount hd0,msdos2

That's all I get so far.
