did you mount the partitions?  You need to create a directory that will
be the mountpoint and then mount the partition on that point.

Assuming that it is an ide drive then something like this should work
to mout the first partition
mkdir /mnt/suse1
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/suse1

to mount at boot you need to add entries for the new drive to /etc/fstab

RH 9 probably has a gui tool to add mounts but I do not know.  webmin
can also do this.

you can see the partitions with the command 

fdisk -l /dev/hdb
