This is very obscure and confusing if you don't already know the
history of that code.
You might think, as I did, that PARTUUID stands for the UUID of the
partition you're searching for -- not true :(
PARTUUID stands for Partition Table UUID, which is entirely different
from a Partition UUID. Clear as mud, eh?
Only GUID/EFI partition tables have a UUID -- not DOS partition tables.
I posted a HOWTO on the subject here:
