While the default's bad, your own names can be much more descriptive.
e.g. A label of "mainboot" for the boot partition on your main drive.
Replaced by "/dev/sda3" tells me exactly where it is.
No it doesn't. Something like "/dev/hda3" would (the first IDE drive,
third partition). But "/dev/sda3" requires you to know which drive the
computer considers is the first drive, at the moment.
Well now that is something I did not know. I have been using fdisk
to tell me what is going on and if it says /dev/sdf3 I use mount and it
mounts /dev/sdf3 as I desired on F7. I got my SATA drive working as
/dev/sdf and it seems to be happy. Of course Grub thinks it is /dev/sdb
which is a real shock to me.
