When the type the root password it should mount the existing disk under /mnt/sysimage. CD there and then into etc (which is /mnt/sysimage/etc) and edit the fstab file commenting out your slave drive (I'm guessing its /dev/hdbx where x is the partition number). To comment out use a text editor like vi and insert (use 'i'') a # at the beginning of the line. Hit escape and then type ':x" to save and exit. run 'cat fstab' to make sure your edit saved and that all instances of the 2nd drive are editted out then exit and presto the system should boot. How do I know??? I added a disk and ran into the same issues because I forgot to mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 ... DOH!!!
