Assuming your disk is attached, your OS recognizes it and the disk is 
formatted:

1) Ensure the effective_squid_user has write capability on the mount point
2) Add a cache_dir directive to squid.conf referencing the new mount point
3) Stop squid
4) Run squid -z (as root or as the effective_squid_user)
5) Start squid
