root=UUID lines are normally interpreted by the initramfs to find the
right device to mount. If you don't use one, the kernel pretty much only
supports root=/dev/<name> or root=PARTUUID identifiers (check kernel
source file init/do_mounts.c:182,207 for details).
You can find your PARTUUID using `blkid` or `lsblk -o +PARTUUID`.
