Hi!  I test this install image using qemu by:

  qemu-system-x86-64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -hda guixsd-usb-install* -hdb 
disk.img

Follow the manual to setup encryted root, using the desktop.scm 
template, but
at the final step, it failed with:

  Path '/mnt/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot.
  Installation is impossible. Aborting.

  (can be reproduced by `grub-install /dev/sdb --boot-directory 
/mnt/boot')

After search, it seems that an un-encrypted boot partition is needed:

  
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#Preparing_the_boot_partition

So, I run fdisk to add a boot partiotion, finally install finished!

But it can't boot, I have to mount the encrypted root in Grub's cmdline:

  insmod cryptodisk
  insmod luks
  cryptomount hd0,msdos2

That's all I get so far.
