It's needs the device - /dev/hdxx defined somewhere. Normally this is defined
in /etc/fstab. I'd guess that somewhere along the way, the labels were defined
in a devfs conf file on the system, thus it appeared devfs was auto-magically
working
with labels. You could probably define labels for udev if you really wanted to.

Just add the partitions to /etc/fstab -
/dev/sda3 / (and the rest of the line)
/dev/sda8 /home/herb (and the rest of the line)
/dev/sda6 /usr/portage (and the rest of the line)
/dev/sdb2 /TVstorage (and the rest of the line)
