[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello, 
I was reading Section 7.2.11 of the Guix manual and I noticed a small
typo. In the second paragraph beneath the initrd example the sentence
reads "The initial RAM disk produced by base-initrd honors several
options passed on the Linux kernel command line (that is, arguments
passed via the linux command of GRUB, or the -append option) of QEMU,
notably:". I believe that the close parenthesis should come after
"QEMU", not after "option".
Thanks for your time,saff

Hm, I'm not sure exactly which meaning is intended here.

Does anyone have advice?

Andreas, you made this change in 1068f26b7.
