RHEL4 has this strange thing where they specify the swap in the
fstab with a LABEL field instead of a real partition. it looks like:

LABEL=SWAP-sda2         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

I pulled an image from a system with this sort of fstab entry for
swap and then imaged a couple of systems. When those systems
came up they did not have swap. I had to go in by hand on each
imaged system and
change the partition from type 83 to type 82 (the partition had
been created just fine) and then do a mkswap on it.
