I'm happy to report that I was successful in setting up an encrypted
root file system on my Libreboot laptop.  I have to enter the passphrase
twice, but that's no different from the normal case (without Libreboot).
It took me multiple days to get it working, though, because each time I
tried to run "guix system init", it took over 8 hours to finish!

This is really good!  Thank you for adding this feature.
