(again, I feel myself not an expert with this but I try to help :-).
I think that in order to add another drive (or partition) into your system,
you have to make a mountpoint for it somewhere into your current
directory-tree, add a corresponding information to your /etc/fstab-file and
"mount" that new "mountpoint" (this can happen automatically during the boot
if you have right options in /etc/fstab). If you want a "dualboot"-system
(two separate Libranet-installations in same computer) you should "inform"
boot manager about the alternative booting-targets.
1: What does /etc/fstab look like in installation you are able to boot in?
2. Which boot-manager does it use - lilo or grub?
Blessings,
Jukka
