Huh.  I thought you had to use the PARTUUID for the root= section.  At
least, that's the distinct impression the Arch Linux Wiki wants to give
you.  Otherwise things look very similar to what I tried, except that I
had added an initrd=\amd-ucode entry before the regular initrd entry, and
no cryptroot stuff.  I wonder what went wrong.
