I so wished that to be true that I grasped at straws, but kernel won't
understand
root=LABEL=label-name any better than root=UUID=bla-bla-bla without initrd.
However, there is a somewhat cool thing which worked:
menuentry "GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.33 (label)" {
insmod ext2
search --no-floppy --label --set LFS-6-6
linux /boot/vmlinux-2.6.33
}
where LFS-6-6 is the e2label of the partition in question.
And fstab can have:
LABEL=LFS-6-6 / ext3 defaults 1 1
