Title:
  Rescue mode doesn't execute shell against proper partition

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
