...rching for a "Partition Name". Avoiding the "label" term for this new option should help in reducing some potential confusions (e.g. BSD's "disklabel", fdisk's "partition label (type)", filesystem's "volume label"...). So, IMO, "diskbypartname" should be a reasonable contraction of "disk being selected by searching for a GPT Partition Name". If it has not been clear enough in prior emails, this new "diskbypartname" option could be applicable for users with a (Protective) MBR in a GPT scheme booting in BIOS /...

...append name=gptpartitionname Not exactly. We are distinguishing between the GPT Partition Name being used just to select the next device (for example, your "ROOT System Partition"), and the (Protective) MBR we are jumping to, in BIOS / CSM mode. In my prior email I suggested "diskbypartname" with relevant explanations (see http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2016-July/025305.html ). Tests and feedback are appreciated.

The exisiting label= option offer to boot on a gpt partition that have a particular label. The existing guuid= option offer to boot on a disk or partition with a particular label. This new option offer to boot the disk that have a partition which have a given label. The label is so just a way to detect a disk to boot. A typical use is for making an intelligent localboot like : label
