If you do not insist upon doing it by label you can simply

Well, I did it without labeling for starters (I know how to edit fstab
properly), but I wanted to do it "the rihgt way" :)

I don't know what are the benefits of labeling, but i suppose there is a
reason why the system works that way. I figured that Hal is managing all
that stuff. http://www.redhat.com/magazine/003jan05/features/hal/

mv root root-orig
mkdir /dev/hdb1/home (actually wherever hdb1 is mounted)
ln -s /dev/hdb1/home home (again the mount point not the device name)
Then
mv root-orig/username root/username
I have done it and it works clean. There is also a security benefit they tell
me in having linux on one drive and data on another.

Thanks, but e2label did the job :)

Cheers!
