ok, so I screwed up my f21 install on /dev/sdb6 and it wouldn't boot
because of the swap partition missing.
what I did was install a new copy of f21 on /dev/sdb5, then I copied
/dev/sdb5/boot/* /dev/sdb6/boot and I also updated fstab with the new
swap. I was then able to normally boot back into my /dev/sdb6 f21 with
all of my applications intact.
