O.K I'll put the device instead of LABEL, this is what it looks like
at the moment
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ vga=0x31b
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
title Fedora 7 (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)
        root (hd1,0)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=/dev/hdb1 vga=0x31b
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img
