no.

In the boot parameters of your bootloader, you specify it with the text root=/path/to/device or a unique UUID name.

If you want to get info about your system's BIOS, then type this command

wmic bios get name,serialnumber,version

This will tells you the name if your BIOS, current version and it's serial number if there is any.

wmic csproduct get name,identifyingnumber,uuid

This command will tell you the system motherboard (that happen to be the name) and it's UUID

wmic cpu get name,CurrentClockSpeed,MaxClockSpeed

If you want to quickly find out what's the CPU clock speed, you can do the following, also if you have turbo boost CPUs you can find out what's the Max Clock Speed your system is capable of for the current configuration. Of course you can always overclock your CPU and that will too reflect the change.

wmic cpu get name,CurrentClockSpeed,MaxClockSpeed /every:1

Edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and change the timeout value to 30:

# general configuration:

And to change the title you change what looks like this:

# (0) Arch Linux

title "insert title here, without quotes"

root (hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/epl509af-b8f0-4453-2678-2cb61f54c848 ro

initrd /kernel26.img

Two methods of identifying a drive is used on the Mac. One is used by the computer, and the other is used by the user.

If you open Disk Utilities, you can see the user type. There are names and numbers that a human can read. The user can name his hard drives as he chooses.

If you open System Information under the black apple on the top menu. Click Storage, and you can see the computer type, including a BSD name, Media Name and Volume UUID. These names ensure that even if two drives are attached with the same user name, they will appear to the system as separate drives.
