Hullo Alexander,
[It's just ‘Guix’, by the way.]

I tried to boot into non-x11 (level3) or single user mode but
unfortunately the option I pass to Grub
Which option did you try? I've happily purged all memory of which
obsolete System V run-level did which obsolete thing (and Guix
probably should, too).
seems not to be recognized by the linux-libre kernel.
The kernel doesn't play a role here. It's the (early) user space
that looks at the kernel's command line, and performs certain
actions when it sees (a) particular magic keyword(s).
Any hint where I find the correct boot options for a Guix
System, so I can repair my system?
I think the only ones are currenly ‘--load’, ‘--root’, and
‘--repl’. The latter allows for some very rudimentary debugging
and fixing but it's not exactly pleasant.
In keeping with Guix's idiosyncratic syntax, one could add
‘--rescue’ and corresponding menu entry to only mount the root
filesystem and spawn the current system's bash shell. What do
people think?
Soon, we'll have to add ‘--help’…
Kind regards,
T G-R
