I want to mount the second drive (hdb as far as I know) at boot up so I can access files from any user on my gentoo box, but i'm very lost as to how to go about this.  (hehe I never had to do this in mandrake....)  I tried reading the man page for mount, but just became even more confused.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance,

Add an entry to your /etc/fstab file associating it to a directory. Something like:

/dev/hdb    /yourdirectory   ext3  noatime   0 0

Replace ext3 with whatever file system you are using.

Good luck.
