Here's what I did to use just one /boot partition :
Installed FC1 , then changed the / label to fc1/ using e2label ,
changed grub.conf and fstab. Then , when installing
FC2 T1 , I've selected my existing boot partition as /boot (but didnt
format it!) , my /home as my new /home (not formatting it also). And left my
fc1/ alone (I've mounted it just to have access to config files..)...
BUT , before you do that , copy your /boot/grub/grub.conf file , because
you'll need
the FC1 entries there (the way I did , anaconda erased all the old
entries for FC1 , but I had a backup and it was just cut n paste after
the install finished)...
