run "fdisk /dev/hdb"
at the prompt command "p"
record partition info
type "q" to quit
add to /etc/fstab;
[for each partition found above, per format of existing entries. use spaces to 
separate]
<device>         <mount point>     <file system>     <settings>    <options>
/dev/hdbx         /data1               ext2            defaults       1 1
/dev/hdby         /data2               ext2            defaults       1 1
use any mount point you wish but make a directory in / to match it.
