@subsection Building the Installation Image for ARM Boards
Many ARM boards require a specific variant of the
@uref{http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/, U-Boot} bootloader.
If you build a disk image and the bootloader is not available otherwise
(on another boot drive etc), it's advisable to build an image that
includes the bootloader, specifically:
@example
guix system disk-image --system=armhf-linux -e '((@@ (gnu system install) os-with-u-boot) (@@ (gnu system install) installation-os) "A20-OLinuXino-Lime2")'
@end example
@code{A20-OLinuXino-Lime2} is the name of the board. If you specify an invalid
board, a list of possible boards will be printed.
