Assuming your first drive is sda[1/2/3], the second should be sdb[1/2/...] and third one sdc[1/2/..] and so on. The problem is that your system from the beginning (i.e., when kernel started booting) didn't pick up sdb[1/2/...] at all. There is something going on beyond Linux's hand. Maybe check your primary/secondary slave pin at the back of second hard disk? 

Could possibly be that the driver for your disk isn't loaded/supported (I am guessing Linux kernel have pretty solid support for SCSI disks. :S )

At this stage can't help you my friend. Goodluck if you do find a cure for your disease. #_#
