system-local.conf is generated by the guix service for d-bus, see
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/services/dbus.scm#n78
I'm not sure how it could ever happen that that is empty (no root element
either).
Could you image the broken partition and give it to us? It needs some serious
debugging.
Alternatively, you can specify "--repl" without the quotes at the end of the
"append" line in grub in the menu in order to get it to stop booting and provide
a Guile prompt.
You then can write things like
,use (ice-9 ftw)
(scandir "/etc")
and so on.
But I think it would be easier to chroot into the half-finished installation and
try to reconfigure again - if necessary from a guix checkout with debugging
messages added.
