(Read the section below "Use a label"): |

|
21 |
fstab: |
22 |
LABEL=ROOT / ext3 defaults 1 1 |
23 |
LABEL=BOOT /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 |
24 |
LABEL=SWAP swap swap defaults 0 0 |
25 |
LABEL=HOME /home ext3 nosuid,auto 1 2 |

title Linux |

root (hd0,0) |
31 |
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz ro root=LABEL=ROOT rhgb quiet |
32 |
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd-2.x.x-xx.img |
