UUID or Universally Unique Identifier
If you install Tiny Core manually, you may include something like tce=sda1.
If install Tiny Core using the installer, it includes something like tce=UUID=“9aff3da3-474d-440d-bb6c-3240afe84ac6”
This UUID number is a Universally Unique Identifier.
Fixed Drives and Removable Drives
If you install to a fixed drive, such as a hard drive in a computer, it's location will not change, so you can use tce=sda1. You can also use UUID.
If you install to a removable drive, such as a USB drive, it may be sda1, sdb1, sdc1, or sdd1, depending on which computer or USB slot you are using.
If you were to include tce=sda1, it may not work in another computer or USB slot.
If the UUID is used, it will always be the same, and work in other computers.
Persistent home and opt on Removable Drives
If you already have tce=UUID=“9aff3da3-474d-440d-bb6c-3240afe84ac6” and want to include persistent home and opt on a removable drive, use the UUID. Like this
opt=UUID="9aff3da3-474d-440d-bb6c-3240afe84ac6" tce=UUID="9aff3da3-474d-440d-bb6c-3240afe84ac6" home=UUID="9aff3da3-474d-440d-bb6c-3240afe84ac6"
