Hello Vasilii!
I had this very same situation, as I am using libreboot which has grub payload.
You can use the following code snippet for your "bootloader" part of your
system configuration.
(bootloader
(bootloader-configuration
(bootloader
(bootloader
(inherit grub-bootloader)
(installer #~(const #t))))))
This will generate and manage "grub.cfg" without installing grub bootloader on
your disk. Thanks to Guix Folk, Clement, who helped me with that code.
Regards,
RG.
