How to use UUID with waitusb option?
« on: June 06, 2010, 02:13:24 PM »
Hi all,

From the change log of 2.11.3, I notice that waitusb option can now take advantage of UUID [1]. However, it seems that this usage has not been published onto FAQ [2]. Can someone tell me how to use UUID with waitusb option?

See: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=5995.0

This was introduced in v2.11. You can use LABEL or UUID.
LABEL is typically shorter and easier than UUID.

Now the usbinstall script adds the UUID clause to the waitusb=5 boot option.
