If you want hda2 to be mounted at /usr, just create the partition (the second partition on the drive) make the filesystem you want it to be, and edit /etc/fstab to suit your needs. It's pretty much in the handbook, which obviously is a guideline rather than thé definitive way to go.

So if you want the entiry install on one partition you type somethin like
| Code: | mkdir /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo |
But if you want the installation on different partition you can type
| Code: | mkdir /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/usr
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/gentoo/usr |
etc
So you mount all the partitions on the correct place bevore you install the tarball, this is the chapter in the hanbook where you should do the mounting. After that you install stuff so it gets on the correct partition. Of course later in the installation you should also edit /etc/fstab so that the correct partitions gets mounted when you boot. |
