One last hurdle! instead of /dev/sda1 I want to use /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXXXXXX because I don't know how many disks there are in the system
but it does not work - I presume that /dev/disk/by-uuid does not yet exist at the time the init script is running? Is there any other way to reference the partition? I am guessing that by-label will not work either?...
