Hi,<br><br>Solaris now uses findroot command (also available only in patched GRUB). Both findroot and uuid commands were created because the root command (specifically &quot;hd&quot;) is fiendishly difficult to determine from an OS. The &quot;hd&quot; is the BIOS disk ID which the BIOS can assign as it pleases and very difficult for the OS to determine what the mapping from BIOS ID to disk is particularly when you change boot disks.<br>

<br>
</div>I can confirm that FILO does not support UUID.<br>

</div>The issue of UUIDs has not come up before. There&#39;s no plan. I think<br>
it would be a useful improvement.<br>
