On what exactly?  Finding out why it doesn't boot with UUID/label?
I'd proceed like this:
 - make a backup of flash (cat /dev/mtdblock? > backup)
 - change /etc/fstab to use UUID/label for the root partition and only
   boot entries in /etc/fstab for the first disk
 - Edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/flash_kernel_set_root
   and put this at the end:
           echo "root: -$rootdev-" >&2
 - Run: update-initramfs -u
 - Check the output and see if the UUID/label it prints looks ok
 - Run flash-kernel
 - Boot with only one disk attached
