compiling FC2 kernel

[abhijit kumar]

sir!
   perahaps i was n't able to express my requirements by the above
mail(sorry for that). i want to edit boot loader configuration for
loading my own kernel. for this i have to edit the following  line :--
  kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet

like some "kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5". but i don't
know what i should write in place of LABEL. i.e. /dev/hda2 , /dev/hda3
or /dev/hda5.
     
                      so; kindly read the following files and suggest
me what should i do.

My Grub.conf file is :--

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,2)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358)
       root (hd0,2)
       kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
       initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img
title Other
       rootnoverify (hd0,0)
       chainloader +1

My /etc/fstab file  is :--

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2

/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

df -a output is :--
