Can someone explain how anaconda figures out boot/disk order and is there some

I can't answer any of your other questions, but because I have watched
it over many releases, I can guarantee that the disk order is
randomly changed in just about every release :-(.
So far with all of the incarnations of F12, and fresh installs of F10,
F11, Centos and Omega, anaconda has ordered the disks on my test system
per the bios ordering even tho they are not in order by letter. I.e, 4
SATA disks (A..D) and 2 IDE (F, G). In the bios I have them ordered F,
G, A to D and this is the ordering anaconda has maintained. Anaconda
initally wanted to put /boot on sdf and I let it since it was the first
bios disk. Each test install of a different distro or version of Fedora
gets its own boot sector and I just tell the boot loader dialogue to
install in the first sector of the /boot partition.
