Description of problem:
The window for selecting the disks to be used for a mount point doesn't say clearly that only one of the selected devices will be used.
This could be confusing to the users, especially when configuring mount points/partitions that the user would like to have on multiple drives, like the biosboot partition. See bug 1956573.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-8.6
anaconda-33.16.6.6-1.el8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run graphical installation on a system with multiple disks
2. Proceed to the custom partitioning
3. Create for example a biosboot partition
4. Click the "Modify" button to select the device the partition will be placed on

Actual results:
The window says:
"Select one or more disks this device may reside on."
This could be understood that the device might be created on all of them.

Expected results:
It would be helpful to add a note that only one of the selected devices will be used for the device.
