[wplug] new HDD

[Brandon Kuczenski]

I just installed a new HDD as a primary slave.  It is unformatted.  I plan 
to mount it as /home.  But I'm hesitant to 'fdisk /dev/hdb' because when I 
enter 'df /dev/hdb' it gives me the same info as 'df /dev/hda'.  Is this 
normal?  how can I be sure I'm formatting the right drive?  How can I be 
sure the new drive has even been recognized (short of rebooting and 
checking the BIOS post)?

System: RH9.  But I want to do this using just the GNU tools and not any 
redhat-config-foo.
