Basicly yes, but not just by partitioning, you will need to create a
filesystem as well, mke2fs will do that for you.
Add the drive, partition it with fdisk, then basicly;
mke2fs /dev/hdxx
Where xx is the drive device name, you are advised to read ;
man mke2fs first.
Edit /etc/fstab
/dev/hdxx /opt ext2 defaults 1 1
empty the /opt directory and type
mount /opt
Upon a reboot the drive will be mounted automaticly.
