	It is necessary for each partition to have a unique label, otherwise
the system will try to mount each, which would not add the 2 partitions,
but replace the first with the second.  This has been seen in this list
as people have added hdd's which had a /boot partition on them and newer
updated kernels would be placed in the new /boot (because it is added
after boot-up) and then that kernel is not available next boot. (Fun, huh!)

	Interestingly, the last time I added a 3rd distro the / partition was
named /12 adding the 2 to the last / partition.  For kicks I added a
fourth, and sure enough, it was named /123.  This was back around FC2 -
so it may be different now.
