I wish to go out of my way, so to speak.
Can you point me to "the road less traveled"?
My environment is a laptop dedicated to installing various 
configurations of Jessie. It is extremely annoying that only the 
last installed {and *most likely* to be removed} boots promptly - 
the other installs having problems with finding an invalid UUID. 
I gets worse as I occasionally install a system and its intended 
swap partition to a flash drive - effectively clobbering all 
installs on the laptop.
TIA
