UUID confusion revisited

[Alan E. Davis]

Answering my own questions.  I have solved my problem temporarily.  The
UUIDs in the fstab for one of the partitions was incorrect.  I am still
baffled.  I apologize, if indeed this was a problem resulting from my
personal indiligence.

I'll deal with the other partitions later.
