Your other option, force root=mmcblk0p1 (but then it won't work if your microSD is plugged in) >> So I must first generate an initramfs?

You'll also have to configure u-boot to load the generated initrd.img-`uname -r` as that's what is going ot decode the "uuid = /dev/mmblkXyZ"... you can use: ls -lh /dev/disk/by-uuid/* to find the uuid of the eMMC partition...
