I don't know, that's why I was asking.  I was assuming, and maybe wrongly so 
because I haven't looked at the man files for it, that it would look in the 
currently mounted root for that info, and some distros (rightly in my 
opinion) don't use UUID.  I think, and its my opinion, UUIDs just confuse 
people, and they're no more secure that /dev/hda, especially considering 
everyone knows where on root to look!
