You should be using something like:
(file-system
(title 'label)
(device "ata-WDC_WD20EURS-63SPKY0_WD-WMC300539593-part3")
(mount-point "/")
(type "ext4"))
It literally means: Mount the block device whose label (in the
ext[234]
sense) is “ata-WDC_WD20EURS-63SPKY0_WD-WMC300539593-part3”.
The root file system is mounted from the initrd, when udev is not
running; thus /dev/disk/by-id is not available yet, and it’s
important
to use this 'label mechanism instead.
So *that's* what the mysterious (title 'label) means!
