The installer will know nothing about it; you install, then once installed connect your home CD, boot a live CD, find and delete the content of the /home created by the installer, add the /dev/sdXXX of your old home drive to fstab, and reboot.

The installer never sees your old /home so never gets a chance to bugger it up.
