This syntax means "root filesystem is the one with label of /12." It requires initrd support. This allows one to add/delete partitions and add or move drives and still have a working system without modifying root=... in grub.conf. Of course, you still have to manually make sure the grub boot sector and "root (...)" line of grub.conf still point to the right partition. #man e2label Will explain how to label ext2/3 partitions.
