Hi,

no, SystemInstaller doesn't support labels. The problem is coming in early, in
the way how the partition definitions are made:

/dev/sda1       100        ext3      /boot    defaults
/dev/sda2       2048       swap
/dev/sda3       8192       ext3      /        defaults
/dev/sda4       *          ext3      /scratch defaults
nfs_oscar:/home -          nfs       /home    
rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,retrans=32,intr,bg

As labels only work for ext2/3, if you want to add support, I'd suggest you
add some additional lines in the config file like:

LABEL=blah /dev/sda1
...

and leave the current partitioning configuration as it is.

Does that make sense?

Regards,
Erich
