Which will cause confusion and result in with the system not booted.
Before you can add another linux system you need to modify your /etc/fstab
file. The problem is with the labels used to mount partitions. THey don't
actually refer to any specific partition. So inserting a 2nd drive which also
have the same partiotion labels will probably stop it from working.
So what you do is to run df to see what partition is mounted where, then
replace the label notes with the /dev/hda1 etc names you see from df.
This way you can add whatever drive without problems.
The lables were made up to make a system more flexible, but does not work with
duplicate labeld partitions.
