Thinking a bit more, in the vast majority of times, $root variable is initially
defined to the drive that contains the filesystem we want. Partition might be
wrong, but then again partition numbers are persistent.
Maybe our problem can be solved by making grub-mkconfig a bit smarter, so that
UUIDs are only used when /boot partition is in a different drive that the one
we embed core.img to.
