Note that the other disk has to be present during the 2nd install
for this to work.  If you take a drive with a fedora installation
from one machine and add it to a machine that already has one, it
will be confused by finding identical labels and refuse to boot.
You have to boot from a rescue CD and either change the labels
or change grub and /etc/fstab to use partition names to recover.
