Re: Grub module to return partuuid of a device such as (hd0, gpt1) at boot time

[Steve Kenton]

Embedded Linux on flash with no initramfs. I'm in the USA and recently 
had lots of "fun" trying to help a dealer in Australia with a unit that 
apparently had something plugged into the wrong slot. My goal is to 
always have our system at least boot and complain if physically possible 
no matter what creative re-configuration the dealers or end-users might 
have done to it.
