In the LVM way of things, if I connect this disk to another
computer,
would these /boot partitions collide and prevent the computer from
booting?
That volume is just a regular partition since /boot can't reside on a
LV.
Abstracting from LVM I would say that yes, a computer with two disks
with a boot sector on each of them won´t boot without additional
configuration.
That is a different issue.
I used to have boot sectors on multiple IDE disks and the
BIOS preferred the primary/master disk.
/boot cannot be on an LVM partition since most boot loaders
(is that the BIOS, grub or the boot image kernel ?)
don't have LVM support.
