    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)
