This section should read:
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -smp 1 \
-net user -net nic,model=virtio -boot menu=on \
-drive file=guixsd.img \
-drive address@hidden@var{system}
(It’s a typo in the manual fixed in commit
d36b8457d04286b4db0543656eed69ae050ac783.)

However, you really need networking support in the VM to install GuixSD.
