It looks like I've managed to write a patch to GNU grub which makes grub accept "label syntax" (e.g. "LABEL=/boot") as the argument to the root command. With this patch one can use not only e.g. "root (hd0,2)" but also e.g. "root (LABEL=/boot)". In short: a second "naming convention" for the root command.
Interesting, tough I do think initrd is the best place for it. grub should deal with BIOS disks, initrd should deal with usb/network/labels/higher level stuff.
Can you send me the patch?
cheers, Pádraig.
