Triaged to Confirmed. I have to agree with reporter that disk naming
scheme is confusing to a new user. However, multiple OS installs is not
a beginner topic, so some understanding of disk naming is presumed.
When a new user attempts to install several OS's and doesn't understand
the different naming schemes--that's trouble. Each disk naming scheme
has a history that is too long to present here. Because a Linux
installation is the combination of several discrete parts, these naming
schemes come together during installation. Installation is not
something you have to do often (if you are fortunate) but it does
require some level of understanding of disk/device naming. Perhaps
ubiquity can present a pop-up: "About disk naming" This would provide a
quick summary of how the same disk drive/partition can be addressed in
different ways.
