Is it possible to make / know that /sda6 is /home? How do I do that?
Longer version:
I tried to install nvidia drivers and the OS blew up. My USB live could not execute to recover the display. I decided to reinstall Deb10 onto / and it's fine, but seems to not know that /home is there (or could be accessible).

Those instructions are from Ubuntu forums, but they are valid also for Debian.

I did the minimal "fix". Using lsblk, I obtained the UUID of the (now) /dev/sda6 ( old /home ). Using sudo nano to edit /etc/fstab, I entered the line per the suggested post, above. Upon reboot, the /home is back.
The cpu temp is going to need some work, but all is good and minor tweeks are no problem.
If you have multiple choices of partitions, you can mount all of them and see what is in them. You can mount them anywhere you like, creating new mount points if desired, and after you find the correct partition, fix fstab as you did, then unmount the temporary mounts.
