Hello Stefan,

Thanks a lot for this patch, overall it look nice! Without going into
details here are a few remarks:

* As you probably noticed the bootloading & system part of Guix is
moving a lot recently. This patch does not apply on master, so it would
be nice if you could rebase it and pass "--base=auto" option to "git
format-patch" so that it's easier to apply it.

* It would be nice to have tests for this functionality. There's already
a (gnu tests nfs) module, testing the NFS service. Maybe you could add a
test case of a marionette booting from a local NFS share.

* Finally, now that file-system "device" field can be a label, a UUID, a
"/dev" node and an "nfs-share", it makes me think that we could need a
new layer of abstraction here, but this can come later and I need to
think more about it.

Thanks,

Mathieu
