You probably have the other GPT paritions already mounted via another name which removes the names in /dev/gptid. Try booting an install CD or USB stick such that you use an alternate root fs and don't mount any of the partitions on your drive. Then you should be able to see the entries in /dev/gptid and update your fstab appropriately. If you console access you could also try to update your fstab to use /dev/gptid/<uid> directly instead of /dev/XXXpYY and reboot. If it works I believe the /dev/XXXpYY names will now be gone from /dev and the /dev/gptid names present instead. -- John Baldwin
