By default, file systems are automatically mounted at boot time.  To
avoid that, you must add:

  (mount? #f)

This is the crux of the problem: it tried and failed to mount this file
system, so everything else failed as well (because the ‘file-systems’
service is an essential requirement.)

This is not a great failure mode, but it’s expected here.

HTH!
