According to someone on Discord, he needed to "edit the extlinux.conf to correct the partition UUID's" to get it to work.
Yes, this has been confirmed in this thread:

I intend test this out tomorrow.
This worked for me but what steps can I take to re-image my machine so I don't need to boot from the SD all the time?
I put a copy of the image on a usb flash drive, booted the SD and then dd'd the image from the usb drive to the eMMC . But just to be safe, after the dd finished, I mounted the boot partition on the eMMC and edited the extlinux.conf there to replace "root=PARTUUID=deedbeef-02" with the device holding the root partition on the eMMC "root=/dev/mmcblk1p2".

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how exactly do you mount the boot partition on the emmc and edit it from there?
Sorry I'm a noob and just want to be able to get back to default if I mess up.
I flashed the image to the emmc but it won't boot without the SD card in now. I think it's because that extlinux. Conf file isn't edited right after I flashed it. I could use the gui to edit the boot in the SD, but can't use the gui to edit the emmc. How does one do this?
Edit: I figured it out with mount and nano. Thanks.
