      Hi I'm having some trouble getting RP to boot from USB with a UUID in CMDLINE.TXT and not /dev/sdx as I've seen recommended and currently works most of the time. I say most of the time, I've found having other USB drives plugged in can result with a boot failure hence why I'm trying to use something more reliable.
      I currently have this in my CMDLINE.TXT
      [code]dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/sda2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait loglevel=3 consoleblank=0

      I've tried using gdisk to get the PARTUUID as well and no go. All that happens is I get four raspberrys and it freezes.
