LABEL=/1                /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext2    defaults        1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
LABEL=/home             /home                   ext3    defaults        1 2
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0

 Does the prom or anything like it look for an /etc/fstab - do remember
that the /etc/fstab in this case would be on /dev/hda2.

 As a workaround, I copied the files from hda1:/boot into hda2:/boot, and
set the "boot filesystem" in the PROM to be hda2. It will boot fine now.
I'm still curious though if it is possible for /boot and / to be different
partitions.
