I Had a Debian v-8.x catastrophe and had to reinstall.  I have several
hard drives on the computer and, of course the installer only found
/dev/sda.

Here are the results of blkid:

comp@AbNormal:~$ sudo blkid
[sudo] password for comp:

I edited fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

I multi-boot and I like to keep things simple, including grub, I like a
neat menu.lst and fstab too and I always keep these things backed up
while installing a new system, this is the way I would do your fstab so
I can edit sdb1 and sdb2, note no auto mount on sdb1 and sdb2, but you
can now read and write.

/dev/sda1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 ext4 noauto,users,exec,relatime 0 0
/dev/sdb2 /mnt/sdb2 ext4 noauto,users,exec,relatime 0 0
/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users 0 0

If you use the above you will need to make two folders in /mnt named
sdb1 and sdb2

What have I missed?

I don't think you missed anything, just didn't know what you where
doing. :)

Thanks in advance.

regard,

Not know what I'm doing is nothing new.

That's hardly a useful response.
