Well, I just looked and I could not find it either... 
I thought it was there - like the RaQ. 
I also looked in the manual and the archives.
Are you sure that re-booting, the system did not find the second drive...
look at /var/log/dmesg
if you do df what does it say...
the second drive should be hdc
Make sure it is jumpered as a Master.
also look at  
/etcfstab   and    /etc/mtab   for a drive hdcX
=================================

try this manual install as root (no "")
The first command won't work if the drive was not detected.
"fdisk /dev/hdc"
"mke2fs -cv /dev/hdc1"
"cd /mnt"
"mkdir driveC"
"chmod 777 driveC"
"mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc1 /mnt/driveC"
"cd /mnt/driveC"
Now write a file
"touch test"   then run  "ls"  (you should see test)
"vi [or pico -w] /etc/fstab"
Add this line
/dev/hdc1	/mnt/driveC
Reboot and see it it mounts....

"ls /mnt/driveC"
you should see the test file
You can also put the file someplace else,
it does not have to be /mnt
just change the directions referencing /mnt/driveC
