Did you try to mount it with the following line?

mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb /path/to/mountpoint
(or is it a ext3 filessystem?)

If not give us the full command and the ls -l outcome of the mount
point.

Thanks Oli. Not sure whether it is ext2 or ext3 and haven't quite completed installing the OS... still in single user mode w/o SSH available d/l'g and installing software probably till tomorrow. Will post back after that's all done.
