This is confusing. Have you got two drives or three? Is /home on one
drive and /usr/local on the other? Or do you have three drives, one
with / and /boot, and two more, each with /home and /usr/local? If the
latter, to what point?

You did not say whether the two disks are on the same SCSI bus. If so,
their having the same ID is an error.

Or are you swapping them in and out? ID doesn't matter except in the
order in which Linux assigns device file names, so I would change the
ID of one of them to 5 or 7 to be safe.

What happens when you have all three installed, with those on the same
SCSI busses all with different IDs? Can you boot, and read all three
drives?

Have you checked to be sure that the /home and /usr/local partitions
all have identical partition labels? i.e. that both /home partitions
have the same label, and that it is the one that /etc/fstab calls out?

Can you boot to a single floppy distribution like tomsrtbt, and read
B?
