In a console window or virtual console: $ su - (give root password) # mkdir /old_boot # mount /dev/hdb1 /old_boot # df Assuming you see the disk mounted, add the following to /etc/fstab (using your favorite editor) so it will get mounted on reboot: /dev/hdb1 /old_boot ext3 defaults 1 2 Can either mount /dev/hdb2 in a top level directory or under /old_boot if desired.
