You can start # /stand/sysinstall -> post installation and partition and format the new harddisk the same way as you did it with the old one. Then leave sysinstall and enter the new slices and their mount-points in /etc/fstab (syntax is pretty self-explanatory) and reboot. And an advice: Have a thought if you just need additional storage-space (no problem) or if you need to move your complete /usr to a bigger partition (might be a problem). Good Luck.
