Try booting by-uuid or by-label, and it might work better / more reliable.
That's a non-starter for me, it may be more reliable in some ways but it's too many headaches for me as I use dd blatantly, all the time, to copy partitions :-)
No headaches here, where cloning is routine. It's a simple enough matter to update UUIDs and LABELs after cloning operations. I both boot and mount FOSS filesystems by LABEL as a matter of course, which is mentally much easier than by UUID or by ID. The labels make it simple enough to keep track of what's what when partition count is the normal-for-around-here count of upwards of a dozen, even as many as 63 on one disk. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
