2025-12-22image: Add qcow2-gpt image type.Rutherther
qcow2 is a mbr-hybrid image. But on aarch64, we have to use grub-efi bootloader. For that bootloader, gpt should be used and Guix errors if it isn't (due to failed check in Guix code). So it's impossible to generate qcow2 type aarch64 image without using customized bootloader. One would have to define their own image instead of using the ones pre-defined. * gnu/system/system.scm (qcow2-gpt-image-type): New variable. * doc/guix.texi: Document qcow2-gpt and its use.
