Dual Boot

in order to have dual boot on PantherX, we need to add menu entries for other operating systems to bootloader section of system configuration:

(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
              ...
              (menu-entries
                (list (menu-entry
                        (label "Arch Linux")
                          (linux "/path/to/vmlinuz-linux")          ; path to vmlinuz-linux, in target partition
                          (linux-arguments '("root=/dev/sdaX"))     ; target partition that tartget os files are located in
                          (initrd "/path/to/initramfs-linux.img"))  ; path to initrd image in target partition
                      ...
                      ))))

Note: since PantherX linux image and initrd is stored inside store and automatically managed by guix system, so for now PantherX should be responsible for management.
