dmidecode is the wrong interface. EDD provides the drive to BIOS mapping
tables, DMI provides static configuration data.
Your two hard drives are otherwise (I presume) exactly alike.
Just use the drive serial numbers for that - or the UUIDs of the
partitions - much easier and basically how Fedora itself does it.

Agreed. But you have to *know* the drive serial number or UUID to do
that. And there is, of course, a high probability that you will not have
that information available.
(Ha! With Captain Murphy's thumb on the scale the probability is
exactly: 1.000000. )
The advantage of marking the actual disk is that you only need remember
which way you installed...extra partition on sda/sata 1 or not.
