I had to do this recently on a single drive laptop.  Beginning with RH9 
the machine would boot up perhaps 3 times out of 10 with his 
"duplicate"  error message above and only '/'  would be mounted after 
it came up (out of about 6 mount points that should be mounted).  I had 
no problems on RH 7.3 like this and now Fedora does the same thing as 
RH9.

After changing to the device names instead of the labels in fstab all is 
well again.
