Hi Punky,

This patchset changes hardcoded ROOT_FS to $ROOT_LBL, ie VOYAGE_FS.
The intent is to be sure we've identified the correct device and
partition before we reformat it (ROOT_FS is too generic to be sure its
not someone elses).  This allows safer automation of partition
formatting, unmounting before formatting etc, possibly with less "Are
you SURE ?" questions.

Its not tested all the way thru to a working CF image; I have great
trouble getting a bootable image to my my 4gb CF, and Im reluctant
to sacrifice the working image (daily build 20120814) on my 512mb CF.

So I did the patch in steps, and tested for expected errors.
    
0001-voyage-installer-prep-to-change-ROOT_FS-label-to-VOY.patch
0002-voyage-install-set-ROOT_LBL-VOYAGE_FS.patch
0003-copyfiles.sh-add-sync-may-not-be-needed-useful.patch
0004-voyage-install-guess-target-disk-from-partition-labe.patch


So this probably isnt 0.9rc1 material, unless you think the "dont eat
someone elses lunch" behavior is worth the additional work needed to
test out the changes right now.
