init 1 will do and enter maintenance mode

> mv /home /oldhome (rename, wont use more disk room)

mkdir /home as mounting point

> mount /home /your new disk partition (hdb1?)

> make /etc/fstab entry for /home (5. modify /etc/fstab to include /dev/hdxx /home reiserfs 
acl,user_xattr 1 3)

> move contents of /oldhome to /home
mv wont do across disks AKAIK. cp -a or tar instead

return to init 3 or 5 (your usual one)

test and retest the move, where there soft links in /home?

wait some time before
> delete /oldhome and contents (rm -R /oldhome, IIRC)

double check all!!!
