[Watford] Second Hard Disk

Hi everyone,

How do I get Linux to mount an additional hard disk which I intent to use
for data storage?

I am using Suse 10.3 and the hardware monitor reports the disk as /dev/sdb
but when I try to mount it tells me it can't find it and that it cant find
this in fstab.  Its already portioned to ext3 and I need to get some data
off it so I don't want to re-partion it. I suspect each partion has to be
declared in fstab.  

I have no idea how to edit this and gnome seems to have no utility to set
this up either.

Thanks for your help.
Walter
