[Greg Freemyer <greg.freemyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm confused by this whole thread.

Is this a reasonable summary:

Form latest to earliest use of labels during boot:

/etc/fstab   -  by_label, etc., fully supported

/boot/grub/device.map - by_label, etc., fully supported

/boot/grub/menu.lst - by_label, etc., fully supported

MBR used to invoke grub stage 1.5 or 2.  -  No label support, so the
user can be screwed every time a user adds / removes disks?

That's not a bug, that's FUBAR.  I did not realize we were allowing
the government to design our boot methodologies.
