I am still working on this; just sending the current state of things,
because I won't finish soon and if someone has comments or if someone
finds it useful.
This *fails to boot* after invoking 'swapon' on an external USB SSD's swap
partition and running 'guix system reconfigure'. Additionally, currently
Inkscape does not build (see bug#60121) and had to be cut out of the
dependency graph by, in the local guix checkout, removing the 'bluez' input of
'pulseaudio' and removing the 'ibus-minimal' input of 'sdl2'. Also 'fakeroot'
does not build unless downgraded to version 1.28 (see bug#61206 maybe).
Note: After installing u-boot-beaglebone-black-bootloader onto /dev/mmcblk1
the Beaglebone Black cannot boot anymore. Don't install it there. Use a
'guix system image' or another bootloader target and don't touch the
bootloader that was there before. TODO Bisect which change broke this.
Reported by Frank Terbeck
* gnu/system/examples/beaglebone-black.tmpl
(initrd-modules): None are needed anymore; pass the empty list.
(kernel): Use a more specific kernel.
(packages): Specify more useful packages.
(services): Add NTP service. For agetty, use ttyS0, which is the
UART port now.
