Today I installed Guix on a Server which uses Guacamole as a web-based
VNC-client according to the HTML code, see 
https://guacamole.apache.org/

I also had the problem that the screen of the installer was too small,
I'm attaching two screenshots: Of the normal GRUB startup and the
unreadable installer. 

I solved it by hitting CTRL-ALT-F3 through the soft-keyboard and
installing it manually: In this console, everything looked fine.
