make /etc/fstab entry for /home (5. modify /etc/fstab to include /dev/hdxx /home reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 3) If the fstab entry is made first, then you only need "mount /home", no need to type anything else.
move contents of /oldhome to /home mv wont do across disks AKAIK. cp -a or tar instead
Probably cp -a is best, at least IMO (which also makes a correction to my correction -- I forgot to specify a recursive copy).
return to init 3 or 5 (your usual one)
test and retest the move, where there soft links in /home?
cp --preserve, or perhaps cp --preserve=all, will copy soft links as links.
