<pre wrap="">It can be anything you choose as the physical partition.
For those that do an install where you already have a partition
labeled /, the new one seems to get labeled /n where n is 1,2,etc and
gets incremented for each new install.

Note that the other disk has to be present during the 2nd install
for this to work. If you take a drive with a fedora installation
from one machine and add it to a machine that already has one, it
will be confused by finding identical labels and refuse to boot.
You have to boot from a rescue CD and either change the labels
or change grub and /etc/fstab to use partition names to recover.

For that very same reason I tend to "hard code" partition numbers in
grub rather than using the labels. To avoid grub confusion.<br>
