RedHat9: New Hard drive - how to mount at boot


Hey all, got a new system with an extra hard drive seperate. I installed the hard drive, and the system sees it (/dev/hdb). I used fdisk to add partitions to the drive, one primary and one logical linux partition that take up the whole drive. My first drive contains the operating system (/dev/hda). How can I get my system to mount the new drive at boot as /space?

A side note, whenever I boot up or log off, my monitor goes into power save mode...very annoying...is there a power config for the monitor anywhere?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Make a new directories under mnt eg. /mnt/space1 and /mnt/space2 then add lines to /etc/fstab;
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/space ext2 defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /mnt/space2 ext2 defaults 00
You must check the last line in the above as I am guessing that the second partition is /dev/hdb5.
