I'm over 80 and doing first "from scratch" install since Squeeze ;}
Hardware is Lenovo R61 ThinkPad (64 bit).
I multi boot [Grub will have at least three options]:
1. minimalist installation - primarily command line usage
2. 64 bit Debian with maximum features
3. 32 bit Debian - couple of applications require a 32 bit OS
4. other installs with strong project dependencies
Today's question
At boot time, what determines which physical partition gets mounted as a
specific directory ( /, /home, swap, and so forth )?
Please reference documentation as reading it will remind me of how and
why I chose specific options.
TIA
P.S. - re-reading https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ ;}!
