There was a long thread on this when F7 was in test.  I
seem to recall that the final recommendation for a dual/multi
boot system was to put labels on all partitions (even the
swap can take a label) and use the labels in the grub.conf
file and the /etc/fstab file.  This should produce consistent
results regardless of what SD gets assigned where.
