[fedora-india] fedora16 bug??

[beyond.hack]

My two harddisk are as follows

hdd A- 80gb (IDE)
hdd B-250gb(SATA)

and yes, I guess I figured it out!

Attached is the output when i booted both of my hard disk *individually.*
*
*
I checked the LVM displays for both the harddisks, i.e lvdisplay,
vgdisplay, and pvdisplay.  Because of the default installs they were having
the same name!!!!
so, may be because of this on the fly when they are mounted I am getting
mixed file systems!!!

But One thing that I am still not able to figure out is that
when I have selected a particular harddisk to boot from BIOS, then *during
the boot process*, (assuming 1st hard disk is selected) the other one is
only seen as a device, it is not mounted up, right??? So, how can it find
the name from the other device??
I mean if *sda* is selected then how can it do mounts from *sdb*???
