	You need to mount the new partition after you mount the main partition.
I mount a partition with /etc/fstab. That way it gets mounted automatic
every time. Here is my fstab:

karl at hardy:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# /dev/sda6
UUID=8713c541-dffa-4fd2-b22b-e600afacbab2 /               ext3
relatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /dev/sda3
UUID=77cb374a-6349-427e-9b57-ea6776f4a52d none            swap    sw
          0       0
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
# /dev/sda5       /home       ext3     defaults        1   2
UUID=40cb6175-3c6e-4a7f-ae57-083cccbbba63 /home  ext3 defaults 1  2

	This last entry is where I mount my Home partition /dev/sda5 to this
main one.

	You can do the same.
