Hi Andy,

maybe I understood some thing not correct (because I am German), and my 
meaning of "Label" is not your meaning of "Label".

That, what i understand as label is the name, I give a partition. For example, 
in gparted, I can give a partition a label like I want. For example, my 
Windows partition can get a label like "windows", "win11", "shitty_windows" or 
whatever, or my datapartition maybe labelled "space1".

Is it that, what we are talking about? If yes, then I believe, it might be 
easy (or with some efforts), to hang in an usb-drive with a special label, 
which will then be booted, as the label of the usb-drive can be found in /etc/
fstab.

But it will be much more difficiult, to create an usb-drive with the same UUID 
as can be found in /etc/fstab. 

That was my point, but maybe, as said before, we are talking of different kind 
of labels.

Have fun!
