From 87602724b509a60628623baabf5a2c7741a68884 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 073/216] Add GRUB_DISABLE_UUID.

This will cause "search --fs-uuid --set=root ..." not to be generated by

grub2-mkconfig, and instead simply attempt to use the grub device name

as it understands it.

+Normally, @command{grub-mkconfig} will generate menu entries that use
