I bet that for / and /boot , you had something like
LABEL=/         /           ext3  defaults 1 2
(or something like that.. I'm doing this from my memory).. During boot 
up (and other mount requests) , if a device is
reffered to as LABEL=something in /etc/fstab , the system automatically 
tries to map the label to the corresponding device.. If the label exists,
the device is mounted.. If it doesnt , you end up with a big bad 
error... Something very handy if you for some reason need to change the 
disk to another controller , for example...
