Comments/Problems:

Wanted to install sarge on hdb only.
hdb2 swap
hdb3 /boot
hdb5 /
hdb6 /tmp
...
No changes on hda and hdb1!
Partitioning was done earlier, so I intended to
assign the mount points (as described above)
only. Note, that both hard disks (hda and hdb)
are identically partitioned. I assigned (for instance)
/tmp (with reiserfs) to hdb6 but in the resulting partition list
hda6!!! was assigned to /tmp. Maybe the identical
partitioning of the hard disks causes the problem.
At this point I stopped installation.
