1. 'fdisk /dev/hdb'
2. partition the drive the way you want it partitioned.
3. write the info to disk and exit fdisk.
4. for each partition do a 'mke2fs /dev/hdbX' (where X is the partition
number).
5. create mount points for each partition (for example: mkdir /disk2)
6. mount the partitions (mount /dev/hdbX /disk2)
7. make an entry in /etc/fstab for the partitions. after you
successfully mount the partitions, you can look in /etc/mtab and cut and
paste the entries from mtab to fstab.
8. umount the partitions and do a 'mount -a' to test the fstab entries.
9. celebrate.
