I used sudo dd if=guixsd-install-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.iso of=/dev/sdb to
make the usb work in uefi mode

I currently can't use Ethernet (I am waiting on Amazon for cables), but
when they are installed is there a easy way to see why it isn't booting?

Nothing it just gets stuck at initializing amdfbpudrb (or something
similar):.

I think I just encountered the same bug today. I got stuck at some
completely irrelevant kernel message in the boot screen. Couldn't
switch to TTY, nada. I worked around it by adding

Toggle quote (2 lines)
> modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu

To the kernel parameters in grub. But the graphical installer still
didn't work because the resolution wasn't right, so I also had to add

Toggle quote (2 lines)
> vga=792

Now, I can see the installer. I hope this resolves the issue for you,
too. I also think that these kernel parameters should be included by
default, because

1) amdgpu does not work without binary blobs AFAIK, so it can just be
blacklisted
2) vga=792 corresponds to 1024×768x24, which is supported by pretty
much any screen I've ever encountered. I'm not sure what happens when
the screen doesn't support the resolution specified in the vga kernel
parameter, but I think it just falls back to the standard, so it
shouldn't do any harm
?
