easy solution for the problem with identical disk labels -- don't use
them in fstab.

to fix that do the following.

# mount
will give you something like this that (mostly) maps labels to
partitions

[root at goliath ~]# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda3 on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda5 on /opt type ext3 (rw)

now look in /etc/fstab to find out which filesystems are mounted by
label.  Usually you will see LABEL=/ and LABEL=/boot  and maybe more.

replace only that part of the line with the device equivalent. 
With mine that means replacing LABEL=/ with /dev/hda2 and similar
for /boot and /dev/hda1

Finally you edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and replace the root=LABEL=/ with
root=/dev/hda2.

Now you can attach the other drive and reboot without getting the label
conflicts that prevent booting.
