The issue is I'm working on building an imaging platform from an "adopted" script.  The script that performs the imaging of a new server sets labels for each of the partitions then creates directories in /mnt, and then mounts the respective directories to install the bootloader and perform the imaging.  
In the "existing" NFS-root based platform, the /dev/disk/by-label is automatically populated and serves for a 1-to-1 mapping for mounting.  I was looking for a way for that I could replicate that functionality with TinyCore to make it a bit easier for me to recode the imaging script.
