5 It turns out that the kernel command line has to specify either the label or
6 the UUID of the root partition. I prefer the more legible label, thus:
7
8 menuentry 'Gentoo Linux 4.0.5' {
9 linux /boot/kernel-x86_64-4.0.5-gentoo root=LABEL=GENTOO net.ifnames=0
10 }
11
12 The label came from mkfs.btrfs -m raid1 -d raid1 --label=GENTOO /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb4
13 when I was creating the file-system.
