7 press control-alt-F2 to get in a terminal window
8 /sbin/fdisk to make partitions
9 /sbin/mkfs.reiserfs /dev/sdb5
10 /sbin/mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
11 mkdir /mnt/test
12 mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt/test
13 df /mnt/test
<about 4Gb available on reiserfs partition>
14 press alt-F7 to get back to Yast2
15 change mountpoints: /dev/sdb1 /root  and /dev/sdb5 /
