I cannot speculate why YaST does not show the partitions on sdb. You
should try mounting sdb1 manually and see if that works. If it does,
adding an entry for it in /etc/fstab is very easy.
Try the following to see if mounting happens:
# mkdir /mnt/foo
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/foo
# cd /mnt/foo
# ls
Also, what is the output of the following command?
# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
