Thanks Rick for getting back to me. Here is what my /etc/fstab file shows (in part): LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 -<snip>- Grub is using ' root=LABEL=/1' because that is the partition/drive that it is boot from.
