If you want to do so... Personally I hate yast2 in text mode.
It just sucks and is not worth working with, because you're
*way* faster doing things on command line. But thats just my 
opinion ;)

PRECAUTION: Make sure you enter the "/dev/hdX" correctly because 
            your system will assume that you know what you are 
            doing and NOT ask you when overwriting existing data 
            or partitions !

Ok, so you have to create a partition on /dev/hdb
Use 

	fdisk /dev/hdb 

and create one primary partition. Set the type to Linux. 

Then you have to choose a filesystem for that partition.
I am using reiserfs but you could also try ext3 or XFS.

For reiserfs you'd have to do (always as root)

	mkreiserfs /dev/hdb1

Then you have to create a mountpoint on your VDR:

	mkdir /video/video1

and mount the new harddisk into your VDRs filesystem:

mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdb1 /video/video1

That's it :)

You should (of course) add something like:

/dev/hdb1	/video/video1	reiserfs	defaults 0 1

to your /etc/fstab, so your harddisk will be mounted on every 
system bootup.

So double check the port, your new drive is connected to:

Master Port 1:	/dev/hda
Slave  Port 1:	/dev/hdb

Master Port 2:	/dev/hdc
Slave  Port 2:	/dev/hdd

Have fun :)
