Swapping Drives - Sanity Check

["Stephen P. Molnar" <s.molnar@sbcglobal.net>]

My Debian Stretch system has three HD's. I want to remove one of the 
HD's (not sda) and replace it with a new HD..

What I need to be sure of is, if I remove the old drive from the fstab 
and delete the mount point will the system boot after I put in the new 
HD. so that I can edit the fstab and create a mount point for the new 
drive?

Hence, the request for the sanity check.

Thanks in advance.
