I miss something here.  Why anaconda writing a new fstab which
is using UUID identifiers would affect how other installations
are booting?  Those should be really independent.  Are you trying
to tell that anaconda now writes non-unique labels and confuses
what existed on this disk before?  That is easy to fix although
anaconda should not "recycle" labels even if it writes something
with UUIDs.  If it does then file a bug.

My rawhide installation coexists with a number of other
installations on the same machine and everything boots.
