Make the bootrom load u-boot from the SATA HDD/SSD.
Luckily the I.MX6 SOC is capable of loading u-boot from a SATA HDD/SSD
but it needs to be configured for that.
However it looks like the novena-eeprom utility only somehow does the
former:

Hi Danny!
You may want to try to set "CONFIG_PREBOOT=\"usb start; sata init; part list
sata 0 -bootable devplist\"". I do something similar to execute "dhcp" to
enable booting via tftp.
Maybe take a look at my recent patch¹ as well, which aims to ease such
configuration changes.
Bye
Stefan
For reference, the config.scm I used was:
(use-modules (gnu) (gnu bootloader u-boot))
(use-service-modules networking ssh desktop)
(use-package-modules bootloaders screen ssh linux)
;;; Note: Maybe better: linux-libre-arm-generic
;;; Note: Novena upstream uses Kernel 3.19

Hi,
I'm still in the process of setting up the Novena as a GNU Mes for ARM build
machine.
Guix system on Novena from sd card finally works.
Now I want to make it boot it from SATA instead.
So I did the following:
(1) Used cp -a to copy over everything from the sd card / to the sata drive

Nice! I want one =P
Hi,
can someone with a Novena please do
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
on it?
Also, if applicable, try
$ ls /sys/firmware/efi/vars
.
I'm trying to find a way for the U-Boot installer to detect that it's on a
Novena.

One can also comment, but only after clicking on
to me that kernels built for
armhf and mips machines usually need custom patches and configuration
that vary from one machine to another. Or at least the armhf and mips
machines that I have access to (Novena and Loongson-based laptops)
require additional patches and custom configuration.
Yeah
Thanks for the info!
I wonder what the status of our linux-libre package is on armhf. I
guess we first need a config file for that platform, based on the x86
ones.

They also typically use bootloaders other than GRUB

the following should normally be a blog post; but I do not (yet?) have a blog.
So I am simply using the list and its archive as a place for posting the

For Guix to work, the Novena board needs a kernel option that is disabled
by default. So before installing Guix

This part went very smoothly. Then I tried
guix build hello
and gcc, guile and so on were built correctly. But tar failed its tests:
