Stupid me. It was your thread on 'fails to boot with second drive'. However, I believe the web page that Stuart Read was trying to find is: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/MountDisksByLabel Not quite UUIDs, but labels. Works just as well. There is an example for swap partitions, so it shouldn't be a problem to figure it out.
