GuixSD only supports ext4 and btrfs file systems. In particular, code
that reads file system UUIDs and labels only works for these file system
types.}. For the ESP, if you have one and assuming it is
@file{/dev/sda2}, run:
@file{/dev/sda1}, run:
@example
mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda2
mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1
@end example
Preferably, assign file systems a label so that you can easily and
reliably refer to them in @code{file-system} declarations (@pxref{File
Systems}). This is typically done using the @code{-L} option of
@command{mkfs.ext4} and related commands. So, assuming the target root
partition lives at @file{/dev/sda1}, a file system with the label
partition lives at @file{/dev/sda2}, a file system with the label
@code{my-root} can be created with:
@example
mkfs.ext4 -L my-root /dev/sda1
mkfs.ext4 -L my-root /dev/sda2
@end example

the Cryptsetup/LUKS utilities to do that (see @inlinefmtifelse{html,
@uref{https://linux.die.net/man/8/cryptsetup, @code{man cryptsetup}},
@code{man cryptsetup}} for more information.) Assuming you want to
store the root partition on @file{/dev/sda1}, the command sequence would
store the root partition on @file{/dev/sda2}, the command sequence would
be along these lines:
@example
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda1
cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sda1 my-partition
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda2
cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sda2 my-partition
mkfs.ext4 -L my-root /dev/mapper/my-partition

Finally, if you plan to use one or more swap partitions (@pxref{Memory
Concepts, swap space,, libc, The GNU C Library Reference Manual}), make
sure to initialize them with @command{mkswap}. Assuming you have one
swap partition on @file{/dev/sda2}, you would run:
swap partition on @file{/dev/sda3}, you would run:
@example
mkswap /dev/sda2
swapon /dev/sda2
mkswap /dev/sda3
swapon /dev/sda3
@end example
Alternatively, you may use a swap file. For example, assuming that in
