@code{geiser-racket-init-file}.
+Note, however, that specifying @code{geiser-guile-init-file} is @i{not}
+equivalent to changing Guile's init file (@file{~/.guile}), because the
+former is loaded using the @code{-l} flag, together with @code{-q} to
+disable loading the second. But there are subtle differences in the way
+Guile loads the init file vs. how it loads a file specifed via the
+@code{-l} flag. If what you want is just loading @file{~/.guile}, leave
+@code{geiser-guile-init-file} alone and set
+@code{geiser-guile-load-init-file-p} to @code{t} instead.
