I am not entirely clear on why this is needed, the LABEL kernel cmdline
parameter is set up by syslinux, and its value can be specified by the
user from the syslinux prompt. If what you want is a more user friendly
menu, then I think the correct solution would be to tweak the syslinux
config, rather than to create a duplicate boot menu in the init script.
