You can start
# /stand/sysinstall
-> post installation
and partition and format the new harddisk the same way as
you did it with the old one.
Then leave sysinstall and enter the new slices and their
mount-points in
/etc/fstab
(syntax is pretty self-explanatory)
and reboot.

And an advice: Have a thought if you just need additional
storage-space (no problem) or if you need to move your
complete /usr to a bigger partition (might be a problem).


Good Luck.

Uli.
