I also passed the -a option to the `cp' command, it preserves files and
directory permissions, quite important I believe.

add the following line to /etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/hda2 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2
Make sure you just copied the contents inside /usr to the new location, not
/usr as well. Then, you should have an empty /usr directory. When you
reboot, /dev/hda2 will be mounted in /usr. Last time I did this, I copied
/usr as well, and I ended up having /usr/usr...

/usr/local
/usr/doc
... you might also make a new directory called /opt, in a separate
partition, and install there new *big* programs instead of /usr/local
