Well I gave up on it. I can't figure out how to boot anything other than armbian on NVMe and I need to boot a USB for starters. I guess I'll have to use for armbian until a cheap board with UEFI arrives. Orange Pi 6 Plus is too expensive for me.

$ swapon -bash: swapon: Unknown command I was about to create a swapfile and then the above command happened. Where can I find swapon?

@bedna Yeah, that's exactly what I was asking. I found out how to install armbian on the NVMe, which is simply to run armbian install and it does it automatically for you. I don't see why that would be impossible if one can boot Armbian with Armbian. Is the '/boot' section that much geared to a distro? I thought that was just the linux kernel part. I also get the feeling that I would probably not need Armbian at all, but u-boot installed on the SD card, but that installing Armbian was at least a good start to see if everything was working and what the guix system ARM iso file is an iso9660 filesystem meant for a USB device, meaning that that I would need a pure u-boot installed on the SD card to first boot the USB device run the guix system installer and then have u-boot boot the NVMe device. I say 'pure u-boot' because I sometimes see these u-boot.img files floating around on the web and just assume these might be the thing that I'm looking for. I have no idea really.

I like Guix system. I really like it on my desktop, so now I want to use Guix system as the OS for my Orange Pi 5 Pro as well. The problem is, the Arm distro for Guix System is only available for Generic EFI and I didn't have the money to buy a Orange Pi 6 Plus. But I figure, why not install Armbian on SD card and have it boot Guix System on the SSD? Is that possible and if so, how would I achieve that? So far I've been able to 'dd' the guix system install ISO onto the SSD. It seems to have an iso9660 filesystem.

I bought an NVMe SSD and it is being recognized.

Power supply: WNB-0504000 5V 4A 20W USB-C. SSD: Intenso Top Performance M.2 128GB SATA-600 I'm gonna buy a new power supply. Looks like I'm needing a 5A one.

I've tried Ubuntu-gnome. Still no SSD recognition.

I just installed Armbian for the first time. I tried the Trixie-current-minimal at first, but that didn't want to start for whatever reason. Should I try installing an Ubuntu one? I'm clueless. [edit] I managed to get Trixie-current-minimal working. Same issue.
