For /boot it needs no special connection to the main partition. It
has all this in it's grub.conf and initrd files. All you need to do
is retrain grub to goto the new partition. That is simple from a
Rescue cd.
Now /home is different. It will be in a new partition and
connected to the main F7 by /ect/fstab entry. Not sure what that will
look like. Maybe like this if /home is in /dev/sda7 the entery in
fstab would be:
/dev/sda7 /home ext3 defaults 0 0
Is any of this correct?
Mostly. The last two numbers should be 1 2. The / partition needs to
be mounted before the partition mount points off of /
Example from my file.
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2

Thanks Jim. yes the numbers 1 2 look good. I need to read man fstab
again. I have never understood the numbers. Now it is time.
