No because there is no EFI partition. If I create one and restart the
installer, then it is *not* mounted either, only /mnt/boot/efi later
during the install. (I believe since the installer is installed as on
an external medium, it does not need an EFI partition.)
I had booted the install image via UEFI boot and had expected auto
partitioning and the default configuration to do the right thing.

Thank you for explaining. If Guix defaults require GPT on EFI
(according to
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFI_system_partition#Create_the_partition>)
some computers apparently really do not support dos partition tables
for the EFI system partition), then I think
gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm should disallow selecting a DOS
scheme when auto partitioning the entire disk.

Florian
