There is no problem installing Linux on the 'second' hard drive. Procedure is as follows (for an IDE disk - for a SCSI just remember it will be sdb and not hdb)
1. In Yast 2, go to Hardware / Partitioner
2. Create 3 partitions on second disk dev/hdb
2a . /root (10-20 mB) to receive the kernel. format with ext2 filesystem
2b. /swap (depends on physical memory and HD size) for the swapfle
2? / (the "root" partition, formatted at best with reiserfs filesystem)
(with a big HG, 40+ GB,it's not a bad idea to divide the root partitions in
/ (root partition - about 10 gB)
/home (users partition).
Important is that the /boot partition (2a) is at the beginning of the HD, to make sur the kernel/OS wuill be in the first 1024 sectors(you can look at Large-Disk.HOWTO for further information)
Now to launch Win or Lin.
Look at LILO-Howto. You can configure LILO on Yast 2 - System - Bootloader configuration and install it witn -Configure boot mode. To lay it safer, put Lilo on a floppy disk
Hope it helps
There was no 'specific instruction' as the whole procedure is the same to install on disk c (just change hdb to hda)
