What kind of device is /dev/hdb? A harddisk, cdrom?

If it is a harddisk, you must know which partition to mount: if there is
only one, it is most likely /dev/hdb1. You can do this by adding a line to
/etc/fstab like:
/dev/hdb1       /mnt/hdb1      ext3    defaults,user,exec,auto   0     0

where /mnt/hdb1 is the mountpoint, ext3 is the filesystem (change to ext2
if neccesary, or to vfat if the disk is a windows disk). Change 'auto' to
'noauto' if you don't want it to be mounted at boottime.

Greetz,
