From Trisquel 8,
$ ls /dev/disk/by-label
GUIX_IMAGE
$ls /dev/disk/by-uuid
1970-01-01-19-49-46-83
[other stuff that doesn't change when the DVD ejects]
The contents of by-id and by-partuuid don't change when the install DVD is inserted,
so I assume that the contents of those directories are not related to the DVD.

The keyboard/usb ports do not function at this point in the boot,
despite working earlier in the boot during EFI and GRUB. I
can see but not type in the recovery Guile repl.
