Re: FC4, update: "Cannot find / in FSTAB" looks like a bug?

Hello:
  I have dammaged my FC4 system, (XFS) and try to recover doing an update
from the DVD.
   I get an error message telling me something like "cannot find the / in
fstab".
   looking in the fstab file, I noticed that the reference to / directory is
made by way of a label, see there.:

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
LABEL=/                 /                       xfs     defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/devpts             /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
/dev/shm                /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0

It seems that the installer (annaconda) is unable to cope with label for the
root directory.

Thanks for your comments, solutions, suggestions.

This is how my core4 fstab looks, not much different apart from file system type for / not familar with xfs, could that be the problem??
