Weird. That is exactly the sort of thing I did, and when I reformatted and installed my partitions labeled FC7ROOT32 and FC7BOOT32 they kept those labels even though I make the mountpoints be / and /boot. (Same thing with FC7ROOT64 and FC7BOOT64 in the 64 bit install). I did go through the "custom partitioning" path in the install, perhaps you picked a different option?
