Once you change the file, you need to run update-grub to get the changes propagated. If you are booting from a livecd, the easiest way to get this to work is to chroot into your root filesystem and then make the changes and run update-grub.
Thanks! Glad to have a solution. This is exactly my situation.Can you also tell me how to go the other way; to get booting to work with uuid's? Is it as simple as changing the device name in /etc/fstab to a uuid or is that where the connection is made?
