I have a vfat filesystem:
```
mkfs.vfat -F32 mydiskp1
```
with the uuid "FA34-24CA" gotten via:
```
blkid mydiskp1
```
When I specify this in my config with (uuid "FA34-24CA") the system
fails to build:
```

```
I was able to identify the issue by doing a binary search by removal
through my config and I worked around the issue by using a "UUID="
string instead of (uuid) for that filesystem's device.
I think there are two issues here:
1. The uuid isn't matching for some reason
2. The expected error message (about an invalid uuid) isn't being displayed
