unfortunately you don't say whether you are using a 4 way buffered interface or what software you are using if any ,
a little bit more info is required here to help you with this one ,

You should have no problems with the second harddrive having the same device names, AmigaOS

drive would be seen by AmigaOS as HD0.1 THIS IS PERFECTLY SAFE.
