Adding additional HardDisk to Xenix

We are attempting to add an additional hard disk to our system.
We currently have a Seagate ST4096 drive, and are going to add
a Miniscribe 3085.  I understand about formating, and
setting up the basic filesystems.
What is confusing is when we go to specify what areas
will be on the new drive and the best way to implement.
We use CTar for backup purposes.
What we want to be able to do, is to move
/u    /wp  (WordPerfect areas)   and   /usr/spool/news
areas to the new drive and allocate space for them.
How do we specify these areas correctly, and how
do we move files over easily.  I understand that if we
just mount the new areas, the old ones will just disappear
from active use, but still be there.  We want to completely
replace them.   We have been through the manuals many times, 
and have not found any useful information yet.  If there is
enough interest I will summarize and post.
Thanks in advance for any assitance.           ... uunet!consult!bob ...
