LABEL=/ used by F7 only tells me that it is a partition. I have zero
information as to where it is. Replaced by "/dev/sda3" tells me exactly
where it is.

Read the man page for findfs(8), which in part says:
NAME
findfs - Find a filesystem by label or UUID
DESCRIPTION
findfs will search the disks in the system looking for a filesystem
which has a label matching label or a UUID equal to uuid. If the
filesystem is found, the device name for the filesystem will be printed
on stdout.
It works like this:
# findfs LABEL=/boot
/dev/sda1
<<winmail.dat>>
