</div>Would it be practical to mount by device name (e.g. /dev/sde1) instead<br>
of UUID?<br>
<br>
Do those devices appear in /proc/partitions at that stage of the boot?<br>
The mount man page says<br>

...<br>
<br>
Mount by label or uuid will work only if your devices have the<br>
names listed in /proc/partitions. In particular, it may well<br>
fail if the kernel was compiled with devfs but devfs is not<br>
mounted.<br>
