Yes yes, now that you mention cirrus, yhetil.org turns up results:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/36069

Could you test that patch maybe?  Well of course it would maybe require
the admins to switch you back to cirrus …

I guess you could have selected shell-based installation in the
graphical installer, it just wasn’t visible.

Maybe there’s no DHCP because the graphical installer lets you choose
which networking device you want to use.
