If you don't want to wait, you might be able to install guixSD and not
use uefi. I have a macbook 7,1 that supports UEFI. I've never figured
out how to install Parabola on it using UEFI. So instead I boot using
MBR Master Boot Record.
If you use fdisk to do your partitioning, I believe that you will ensure
that you boot via MBR. You need to create a new partition table and
select "msdos".
