I'm not exactly sure about your system's setup, but msdos partition |
16 |
tables can also hold partition UUIDs, which can be seen by running |
17 |
blkid. So, such a solution does not necessarily imply a GPT-based |
18 |
setup... you can experiment with it a bit, having fun tweaking kernel |
19 |
parameters :) |
