Do you want to set a label so you can mount the filesystem by using that label 
or do you want something else entirely. If you just want to use labels for 
mounting then this has nothing to do with GPT. The label is provided via the 
filesystem. You could use createopts to set the label:

primary  /  2G-  ext3  rw  createopts="-L root"

(from the top of my head, please refer to the documentation if setup-storage
 complains)
