Thank you for your help. I was unaware of UUID(s) and the first thing I find is that you should use UUIDs instead of /dev/...
I will do a bit more work on UUIDs and try figure out the machinations of uEnv.txt and /etc/fstab and try figure out the final details myself. I will post for posterity whatever I discover works so the next noob won't waste so much of your valuable time. Thanks again.
