Rescue mode doesn't execute shell against proper partition

[Nicholas Skaggs]

When using rescue mode on the 12.04.1 images on a disk which contrained 2 seperate installations of ubuntu (both 64-bit, with the 64-bit alt image), executing a shell against the proper root filesytems always executed a shell against the first root filesystem.

The disk contained several partitions. /dev/sda1 contained precise. /dev/sda5 contained quantal.

For example, executing a shell against /dev/sda1 gave me a precise chroot. Executing a shell against /dev/sda5 still gave me the chroot of /dev/sda1. Executing a root shell and chroot'ing against /target also always resulted in chrooting into precise (/dev/sda1), even when I selected /dev/sda5.

I have tried to rec-reate this and I'm unable to do so using 32-bit new installations.. Considering incomplete until can recreate.
