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.

Re: UUID in fstab.
Thanks for the support. I want to use the uuid's found using sysctl -a in fstab. /dev/gptid/ has only uuid for boot partition.
