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'
