Yes but.. that does not address the problem I was solving unless I've 
missed the part where it compiles a label search into the Grub2 Stage 
1.5/2 and has it search for the label for grub root.

I just see where it issues set root='(hd0,1)', which is useless when 
your bios drive order moves around (and why I solved it the way I did).

Happy to be re-educated though.

Personally I use UUID over labels as when swapping drives around 
different machines there is just no way to get things mixed up.

That and it means I don't have to think about what to call the drive.
