Hello,

Attempting to build the lightweight-desktop.tpml image configuration using:

$ guix system vm-image gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl --verbosity=10 --no-offload

ends up crashing with:

The value of the --efi-directory argument (/fs/dev/vda) of the grub-install
command seems suspicious to me.

Thanks,

Maxim
