Here are the *rough* steps.  If this is your first time installing and
formating drives, you may wish to play on another machine. Backup all your
important stuff... But *roughly* speaking, here are the steps

Install the drive
/stand/sysinstall,
fdisk the new drive so that the partition is BSD
disklabel it and use it all.  Mount it for now at /mnt
mv /usr/home/* /mnt
umount /mnt
mount /dev/wd1e (most likly its name) /usr/home
edit /etc/fstab accordinging
