OK, after watching the "Mount point assignment" video at https://fedoramagazine.org/anaconda-installer-redesign/ I have a better idea of what's going on. So here's what I think I'm supposed to do. I used "Add mount point" to add a third row /home. After this, I have 3 mount points (/, /boot, and /home, in that order). Under the "Device" column, I set these to "root", "sda3", and "home", resp. And in the "Reformat" column, the first two are toggled on and the third is toggled off.
Then after going to "Review and install", I get an error "Unknown or invalid device 'BTRFS-blahblah-blah-blah-blah-blahblahblah-root/var/lib/machines' specified" (the blahs are hex digits). I thought I had it. And was I correct in choosing "Mount point assignment" instead of "Share disk with other operating system"?
Just played with this with the 20250405 Workstation Live compose for a
few minutes, and I guess the answer is "works for me", mostly...
Keep in mind I'm installing on top of an earlier Fedora 42 pre-release,
so that may enter into things somehow.
What worked (this feels equivalent to what you tried, I'm not sure what
the difference is):
1. Select "Mount point assignment"
2. Select "root" as the device for the / mount point
3. Select "sda3" for /boot, check "Reformat"
4. Click "Add mount"
5. Enter "/home" for the mount point and select "home" for the device,
make sure "Reformat" is NOT checked
6. Click "Next"
7. Proceed as normal
What didn't work:
1. Click three dots menu, "Launch storage editor"
2. Confirm "Launch storage editor"
3. Click "sda3"
4. Click "Edit mount point", enter "/boot", click "Save"
5. Click on "sda" in the breadcrumb menu to return to the storage editor
6. Click "home"
7. Calamity! "Critical error", "The installer cannot continue due to a
critical error: Storage plugin failed" "s is undefined"
