Subject: bug#44872: GuixSD 1.2.0 installer fails with exception when formatting drive

I successfully installed GNU Guix.

The work around I used for this bug is I simply ran `sudo dd
if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda`. Basically, I think the existence of an old
GPT partition table is causing problems on a new install though I'm not
sure why.

Unfortunately, this computer is my daily driver and I need it working so
I can't run any more tests at this time.
