Boot single user. If /usr is mounted (I forget if all partitions are
mounted or not, I think they are), then umount it. Assume that you're
mounting /dev/hda7 as /usr, and have several 'misc[0123456789]'
directories under /mnt, and have a new partition /dev/hdb2 that's going
to be the new /usr partition.
$ umount /usr
$ mount /dev/hda7 /mnt/misc1
$ mkdir /usr
$ mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb2 /usr
I'd strongly recommend you find and read a good text on GNU/Linux system
administration.
