Read http://www.linux-archive.org/gentoo-user/481167-mounting-root-partition-uuid-no-initrd-needed.html The article refers to a different issue, but explains what you are looking for. quote "I strongly suggest that you practice on a USB thumb drive before you risk your real partition table !" unquote I used it. You do not need a PC with EFI support, however, your kernel must have " EFI GUID partition table support" compiled in. And you will need GPT ( GUID partition tables ). Good luck, Edgar -- Dr.-Ing.
