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!
