I have tried to install GuixSD on my non-UEFI PC from USB and I have encountered multiple problems.
1) The USB is /dev/sda while HDD is /dev/sdb during the installation, but after reboot HDD becomes /dev/sda. How do I set the device for the bootloader and swap partition without using device tree name (/dev/sdX)? 2) I have set the labels on HDD partitions this way: /dev/sdb1 (ext4) - boot /dev/sdb2 (ext4) - root /dev/sdb3 (swap) - swap /dev/sdb4 (ext4) - home The config file for my system is attached. After invoking `guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt` and rebooting the OS fails to mount the partitions because it doesn't detect them.
