BDF Display /dev/root

I have just rebuilt my system using ignite onto bigger root disks, and have noticed that now when i run a BDF it diplays the root filesystem as /DEV/ROOT rather than /DEV/VG00/LVOL3 which it should be.
I have check the startup and that starts using the relevant lvol and the fstab is correct.
so does anyone know why i am seing the root filesystem displayed as /dev/root rather than /dev/vg00/lvol3.

Renamed mnttab to mnttab.orig and then ran mount -a
