Samuel Sieb:
No, the problem is that Fedora installs a boot entry labelled
"Fedora" and I think it will either leave or overwrite an existing
entry. And if it did add another one, it would be confusing as to
which one was which since they have the same label.
You could manually add a new entry with a different label, it's
pretty easy.
I did try changing one to say Fedora 34 instead of just Fedora.
Calling that "easy" might be a bit of a stretch. It wasn't as
straightforward as you might hope (especially since there was more than
one entry, I need to remove the wrong one, customise the right one),
nor was it well explained.
I also discovered that on a PC with 6 SATA slots, that it was easy to
unplug a drive, forget which one it was plugged into, then find that
UEFI wants the drive in the same port as before. Even on a system with
only one drive plugged in, it couldn't find it, it had to be where it
expected it to be.
