All I have to say is, I though I gave up drive letters when I stopped using 
DOS.

Long ago I brought this up and also was looking for a way to access
partitions by their label (which FAT, and ext2 support). This removes the
possibility of partition shift and an unbootable/screwed up system if the
disks get changed.

If it hasen't been brought up I here by throw it into the loop. (I'll start 
following this thread from now on)
