I have found that use of LABEL=FOO in /etc/fstab doesn't always solve
the problem of disks being reassigned during boot.
That's because fstab isn't used during boot. What "root=" setting is
passed to your kernel by your bootloader? Is that using /dev/sda1 or
a label? In order to use a label, I _think_ you need some special magic
in an initrd (at least that used to be the case according to what I've
googled).
There is something on the gentoo wiki about doing it in an initramfs:

(I've never tried it)
I think grub2 can use labels.
