I’m not quite sure what you are asking, since Guix does not use “grub-mkconfig”. It has its own way of generating a GRUB configuration file. The “#~(const #t)” trick is the Guix version of running “grub-mkconfig” and not “grub-install”. Is it working for you? Is it that you want to use “grub-mkconfig” instead of Guix’s normal method? To be honest, it may be possible, but it’s only for the brave of heart (or at least for those who can tolerate a lot of annoying difficulties). :) The easiest way to do that would be to install GRUB and run “grub-mkconfig” manually. -- Tim
