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:
