make a 40mb ext2 filesystem on the first harddisk, it is /
make a second fs on your 2nd harddisk and mount it as /usr.
A /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults
/dev/hdb1 /usr ext2 defaults
/dev/hda2 / swap defaults
none /proc proc defaults
If you cd to /usr you are on the 2nd drive and see no difference.
