Around four commands are helpful for this and similar tasks:

1.

  sudo parted -l

or alternatively

  sudo fdisk -l

2.

  sudo blkid

3.

  grep root /boot/grub/grub.cfg

and/or perhaps

  grep vmlinuz /boot/grub/grub.cfg

4.

  cat /etc/fstab

based on the output of "grep root /boot/grub/grub.cfg"
it could be useful to find were /etc/fstab of other installs is located
and then to take a look at those, too.

Regards,
Ralf
