I have a base install that I have placed on a USB thumb drive.

I need to get grub to boot it by uuid or label so I can boot it from any PC

I can get it to boot using a kernel line like this:

# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux (x86_64)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdd1 rootdelay=15 ro
initrd /kernel26.img

This don't work

# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux (x86_64)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=UUID=6342a6b5-25cf-4d01-a318-68309d12ab5b 
rootdelay=15 ro
initrd /kernel26.img

This don't work

# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux (x86_64)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 
root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/6342a6b5-25cf-4d01-a318-68309d12ab5b rootdelay=15 ro
initrd /kernel26.img

Any one know how to get this to work?
