Christine is right, in that case you might prefer to use "guix system
image" to create directly a bootable image that suits you.

Yes indeed. The latest installer available here:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/ should hide the installation
media in the device selection page. It would be great if you could
confirm it.
