Thank you for making my point for me. To repair anything, one would have to know the
device names of the partitions unless the userland utilities are re-written to take
LABEL tags into consideration. So you would have to go back to your notebook at crash
time and thumb through to the section where you duly transcribed all LABEL to device
name pairs at install time for the affected machine anyway. What...pray tell you
didn't do so?
