Hi Phil
I found a solution myself using the grub embedded "search --fs-uuid". I do it once the linux boot partition and also on one partition of the external disk. If the search on the external disk report an error, I know root=/dev/sda1 else root=/dev/sdb1. But I really think this should be linux job!
I also converted my /etc/fstab to LABEL=foo /foo syntax.
Now I'm really puzzled grub2 as a "search by fs uuid" command that linux is unable to deliver for the root device!
I have seen read hat patch for supporting this feature ext2 as early as in 1999!
