It had labels, but the labels were unique for each installation. My first installation on the secondary drive is RH9 and RHL 7.3 installed on the smaller primary drive. It sounds like you might try and use the actual device name, instead of the label. You might have success in relabelingt one of the boot partitions, but I'm not clear on the labeling scheme yet. If you want to see or transfer information from one installation to the other. It is easy to make a directory. Then mount it as you would any other partition. I use 7_3boot and /7_3root for my RH9 installation to mount the 7.3 drives. For seeing the RHL 9 drives in 7.3, it was done on installation. I chose the proper drive and mounted my home, / and boot in a similar fashion. Seeing one installation from the other is great for editing the grub boot loader and also for transferring files between the two installations. Each installation has their own boot partitions and some cut and pasting information from one config file to the other is needed. The RHL 7.3 installation has the active grub, which boots. Jim
