You're hitting the difference between a physical disk and a volume. Physical
disks don't have UUIDs, volumes do. /dev is a physical disk driver location,
/Volumes or / is where volumes are mounted.

What you need is the volume mount, which in that terminology would be
something like disk0s3 or disk 0, slice/volume 3
