Work out where they are in terms of dev/hdx

primary master hda
primary slave hdb
secondary master hdc
secondary slave hdd

Make directories for where you want to mount the filesystems on these devices with useful names

For example /mnt/backup

Then put entries in /etc/fstab to mount the partitions on these drives at boot time. Assumes they are partitioned. If not use fdisk or cfdisk.

For example

/dev/hda5 /mnt/backup reiserfs defaults 0 0

Post back or ask on irc if any probs.
