Dual boot has gotten somewhat messy, IMHO, since the introduction of
UUIDs in /etc/fstab. When one boots into the old installation, the
/etc/fstab is incapable of mounting the newer installation because
the old UUID on that root partition has been clobbered.
At least I haven't figured out a convenient way to switch back and
forth. Any suggestions?
