Yes, as long as you have some other boot medium ready to boot the new
system the first time. Also don't forget that maybe you have to change
your fstab before the first time you boot the new system. You can
however also do this later. You can boot into a shell (append
"init=/bin/sh" to the boot prompt) and also tell the kernel at boot
time which root partition to use. If you boot directly into a shell, no
other partitions will be mounted (or attempted to). Then you can edit
your fstab.
best regards
