Mostly. The last two numbers should be 1 2. The / partition needs to be 
mounted before the partition mount points off of /

Example from my file.

LABEL=/             /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/home         /home                   ext3    defaults        1 2
LABEL=/boot         /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
