You may install FC3t1 as usual. Boot from the CD, select the free space
for / your sda1 on disk 2 (it should read sdb1?) for /boot and your core
1 home on sdb3 into /mnt/home so it will not be affected by test 1
quirks (or initially you should omit it and add it later). Before
starting the installation, you should save your /boot/grub/grub.conf
file! Unfortunately anaconda does not use an existing grub.conf. It will
detect it and should make a backup, but it will not use the information
inside the file. It will make a new grub.conf file, containing your
windows partition and your newly installed test 1. It will "forget" your
current Core 1. You have to add the corresponding lines from the backup
file manually.
