As it turns out, ?root? is initialized with an empty password, and for

tries to make that clear, but perhaps there?s misleading info somewhere?
Ah, ok. The only reason I thought it might be wrong was because it didn't
work right away. I actually figured out the problem (the lack of a home
directory) as I was writing the email.
Also, the user?s home directory should definitely be created
automatically.
My partition layout has separate /, /home, /boot. I specified these in
config.scm, but should I have also mounted them (or at least /home) before
system init?
Thanks,

I have a password "" and (home-directory "/home/user")
in users list for some time. This works OK. Home dirs are not created by
default and this sets password to empty.
