don't edit mtab.  The system maintains that.

Yes, if you relable one of the /boot partitions then you can do as
suggested for mounting.

Also, if you know the partition device name (/dev/hda1 for example) you
can use that with a line such as
/dev/hda1    /mountpoint    ext3  .........  same as on the /boot
partition.
However. you meed to either use the device name for both in fstab or
change a label on one to something different.
