Don't tell anyone that I told you this, but running...
service ipchains save
chkconfig ipchains on

No. I think the idea of labels is you label the filesystem, eg
give the root filesystem the label of "/", then you can mount, fsck,
etc, that filesystem using the label, rather than the device name.
So if you add or remove some partitions, and the device names get
renumbered, everything should still work without needing to
edit /etc/fstab because you are aren't referencing the device names
directly, you are using their labels. My explaination is as clear
as mud, no doubt.
In the debian tradition, RTFM, man e2label and man fstab.
run e2label on your root partition, ie "e2label /dev/hda1",
(where you substitute /dev/hda1 with your root partition)
it should print "/", if it doesn't you can relabel it by running
"e2label /dev/hda1 /"
