New in this series:

  * reconfigure: Use native bootloader package for running the installer,
  * default to "msdos" partion table,
  * do not suggest/create boot partition,
  * remove "--skip-checks" from guix system init call,
  * default to part:1:device:wd0 instead of failing when no permission to read
    /dev (resurrecting tests/guix-system.sh),

which lead to the first fresh install that actually boots without any extra
tinkering on my x60 using this

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./pre-inst-env guix system image -t iso9660 --system=i686-linux gnu/system/install.scm
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

installer.  I've updated the hurd-team branch.

Greetings,

Yes, I still think this is a nice idea.  Better to open a new bug for
that when someone wants to write a patch?

Pushed to master as 035e5f0c743d80be3d4029f9daba90cb8b657782.

Thanks!
