Thank you Zot and Michael,

Since the Linux was on the second disk I did the fdisk on /dev/hdb1
and change the line in fstab from:
	LABEL=/boot /boot ................
to
	/dev/hdb1   /boot ................
and things seem to work now.

use the tune2fs command as Zot suggested.

One you determine which parition holds /boot (perhaps /dev/hda1?) change
/etc/fstab so that it mounts the boot partition by its /dev entry rather
than
the the partition label.
