	Hi, you need to add a line to /etc/fstab that loads /dev/sda6 to your 
/home/ directory. I do what your doing and here is my fstab:

# /dev/sda5       /home       ext3     defaults        1   2
UUID=40cb6175-3c6e-4a7f-ae57-083cccbbba63 /home  ext3 defaults 1  2
karl at Hardy:~$

the first line is what you want to try first. It will be:

/dev/sda6   /home   ext3  defaults  1  2


Good luck'
