You forgot to mount it as such during install. You can fix this
easily.
# shutdown now
(wait a little)
# mount /dev/hda2 /mnt
# cp -ax /home /mnt
(wait a long time)
# rm -r /home
# mkdir /home
# editor /etc/fstab
(add a new entry for /home)
# shutdown -rF now
(wait for reboot, you now have /home where you expect it)
