 Thank you Boyd I just tested if my external microdrive would report
its UUID and it did
~
# blkid /dev/sdc1
/dev/sdc1: UUID="7a3f9c93-f08f-4585-b86e-1e02df8ef133" SEC_TYPE="ext2"
TYPE="ext3"

 I will have to customize a live CD to automatically use some start up
kernel options depending on either probes or my selection. cheatcodes
passed to the kernel have repeatedly saved my life
