Jonathan is correct about the above, but since Chip indicated that he could
use this second drive to boot from and that it was just a copy of the first
drive I suspect what he really should be doing is reinitializing the drive
as just new filesystems. As it is it has a boot and root on it which are
not terribly useful. What you (Chip) really should do is run mkdev hd and
set up new partitions and filesystems. Mkdev will do all the right things
for you like make reasonable devs to mount, like /dev/user instead of
fooling around with /dev/hdxx. After that all you will need to do is to
make up the new mount points you want and update /etc/default/filesys
to control whether you want the new filesystems mounted automatically when
going multiuser, etc.
