GRUB is content to boot whatever is on the SD (as you observe) so must
be happy enough with the stanza above; there is no problem with booting
there. Actually, GRUB only uses
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-686-pae root=/dev/mmcblk0p1
and
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-686-pae
to get everything up and running. Without those two lines you would not
be booting.
So try this:
When the GRUB menu displays press the "e" key and remove the
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 380e2a6d-f851-4fd1-9db2-869a0982b511
Then press the "F10" key. Can you still boot? Do you get the onscreen
message you are concerned about?
