In my /etc/fstab here is just a snippet
LABEL=/1 ....<rest of line> LABEL=/boot1 ....<rest of line>
When i installed centOS-4.3 and it has appeared after starting to use any version of centOS4 was that the labels in my fstab were getting the "1" appended to each label...
but if the all the labels for my partitions are appended with the "1" and i format and reload they show up in my partition setup during installation and i re-label them appropriately without the "1" and the /etc/fstab doesnt have the "1" appended...
its like every other install the "1" gets appended....anyone come across this... if show how can i change it....i know its not like it makes a difference but I just noticed wondering why this happens.

there would have already been a label=/ on one of the drives when you did the install.. the installer will append a '1' to prevent breaking any other config's you might have already had ( specially if the machine is dual / tripple booting ).

I have seen this behavior when reusing already created partitions and doing an install on top of those. The a new label is used, as you are not erasing the partitions.
How I work around this (on partitions I can afford to lose) is to double click on the partition in the installer, remove it, and add it back. Since it is recreating the partition, it uses the correct label. This also erases your partition, so only do it for ones you are going to reformat anyway :)

My guess is that you've got multiple linux installations.
After your first install, you would have partitions with labels such as "/" and "/usr". Install again without removing existing partitions, and the installer will create new partitions labelled "/1" and "/usr1".
fdisk will show you the list of partitions on your disk.
