[Contact] USR installed to USB external Hard Disk- boot errors?

USR Results here look at : 
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Soas_V4/ASLOxo_Activity_Test_Table#Activity_Test_Results

Boot appears to be looking for a long numerical label on HD at boot:

Alert! /dev/disk-by-uuid/423aafb0-6636-4390-8bbf-6b1e2a629f6b does not exist. dropping to shell!

BusyBox v1.13.3



It may be too long with the string from the external HD added to the numerical label?

Is there any way to switch boot so it looks the HD in /dev/sda format instead?

Regards.

Note: Surf 115 as drag-drop install from 2nd USB makes it a complete 
sugar install..

Thanks for all of your work.
