when you normall system has booted and you have logged in as root her eis what
i would do, others may say differntly, there are many ways to do this.
cd /
mkdir /newdisk
add the following with your favorite editor to /etc/fstab
/dev/hdb1 /newdisk ext2 defaults 0 1
save the file, thats it for the next reboot, to mount it now without rebooting type;
mount /newdisk
Of course i am presuming that you have the newdisk as the slave on the primary
ide controller and that the first partition has a valid ext2 filesystem created
with;
mke2fs /dev/hdb2
and of course before that was partitioned with a program like fdisk.
