Unfortunately, although manual section 6.2.3 documents that 'title' can
be 'uuid', it's not yet implemented.  See 'canonicalize-device-spec' in
gnu/build/file-systems.scm:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (case canonical-title
    ((device)
     ;; Nothing to do.
     spec)
    ((label)
     ;; Resolve the label.
     (let loop ((count 0))
       (let ((device (find-partition-by-label spec)))
         (or device
             ;; Some devices take a bit of time to appear, most notably USB
             ;; storage devices.  Thus, wait for the device to appear.
             (if (> count max-trials)
                 (error "failed to resolve partition label" spec)
                 (begin
                   (format #t "waiting for partition '~a' to appear...~%"
                           spec)
                   (sleep 1)
                   (loop (+ 1 count))))))))
    ;; TODO: Add support for UUIDs.
    (else
     (error "unknown device title" title))))
