Hello,

You do not need to regen the initramfs for the UUID, but more to have
the appropriate sata driver (unless you already have a generic
initramfs, which is not the default IIRC).

Unless you really want to re-use an existing installation, I would
recommend to xzcat the image you want on sata from another host.
You only need to have the bootloader on the mmc for the wanboard,
(modern) u-boot can boot to sata directly even for /boot.
