.. for a very valuable hint (to me, at least). This probably means, that a disk "LABEL" will do, too?! [I don't trust the UUID :-). They can change so often (reformatting swap) and are not so 'unique' at all, e.g. in the case of (physical) snap shots :-).] I like to be consistent using either /dev/sdaX (or whatever), or UUIDs, or LABELs and with LILO always had the problem to specify the boot-device properly, when not using /dev/sd...; I just missed the idea of specifying it via (e.g.) "by-label".
