Is there a way to tell anaconda to create /etc/fstab with no labels (but
using actual /dev nodes instead)?
Yes, there is, and I set this up for all kickstarts - labels are bad
news when you have more than one partition/device that contains LABEL=/,
such as new and old OS drives... It is also a good idea to edit
/boot/grub/grub.conf during %post, to remove 'LABEL=/' and replace it
with the proper device name.
Create an updates.img in the 'base' directory of your distribution,
which contains the file 'fsset.py', patched from the anaconda source.
Here's my patch from rhel-4:
