If you use /dev/disk/by-label/SOMETHING paths in fstab instead of
LABEL=SOMETHING you might not need to do any workarounds for busybox (and
it's a much cleaner solution IMHO).
It would also be nice to use the other variants of /dev/disk/by-*/ when no
label has been specified for the device (which would give persistent
device names in other situations as well).
