You need to mount the new partition, copy your /home to the partition and then edit /etc/fstab to mount the partition correctly at boot.
Have a look at this article, you won't need to follow all the steps, just the ones described above.

Yes, switch to single user mode (runlevel 1), the command "telinit 1" will do it but read the init man page first "man init".
