I am assuming that you are referring to IDE drives, due to your referral
of a "slave" drive. IDE drives are usually referenced as /dev/hdx where x
= the letter of the connected drive. For example, the primary master is
/dev/hda, the primary slave is /dev/hdb, the secondary master is /dev/hdc,
and the secondary slave is /dev/hdd.
As root, type "fdisk -l". This will list the partitions of the drives
connected to your system. If this is a primary slave, it is most likely
"/dev/hdb". If you have multiple partittions, you will want to choose
which partition(s) to mount. You will need to create a directory for each
partition that you want to mount. I might recommend creating /media/hdb1
/media/hdb2,etc. Then you can mount each partition by typing "mount
/dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1" and "mount /dev/hdb2 /media/hdb2" .. etc.
Hope this helps.
