You don't need to use labels in fstab.  You can just use the device names.

i.e.

instead of:
LABEL=/usr   /usr   ext3    defaults  0 0

use:
/dev/hda3    /usr   ext3    defaults  0 0

When the kernel has finished booting, it'll look at /etc/fstab for 
information on file systems to mount.  If it sees 'LABEL=/usr', it'll look 
for a partition with that label and barf if it doesn't see one.  If you 
specify the device '/dev/hda3', it won't even bother looking at the label.  

If you like, post your current fstab and I'll highlight the changes 
required...

Cheers,

Dan
