So, I have to do this from a CD/DVD.  Well, once done, it is done.

Another hiccup for the record. When you add/change a label, you have to reboot for it to take effect. At least that was what I did anyway. The labels didn't show up until I rebooted. Sort of funny in a way. I have changed partition layouts before and them take effect without a reboot. Maybe I should have restarted udev?

Also, I first booted a Gentoo 10.1 DVD and all the drives showed up as sd**. I didn't see a hd* in the list anywhere. So, if you are not SURE what each drive will be, boot something that doesn't use the PATA drivers. For me, I booted a old Gentoo 2006.1 CD. That listed both hd** and my sda drive. I didn't try my Knoppix disc tho. I'm not sure what drivers it uses.

Now to figure out how far off the deep end I want to go with editing fstab. Going to read some replies here and a man page or two. ;-) The way I figure it, once I edit fstab and get it to boot correctly, it shouldn't matter whether the drives use IDE or PATA drivers. Then I can work on the kernel next.

P. S.  Any way to label swap?  It's not reiserfs or ext*.
