Yup, simple problem -- you forgot to specify a partition on the
drive. Try /dev/hdb1, for instance.
Of course, this assumes the drive is actually hooked up as hdb
(first controller, slave). If you're using devfs, I don't know
how the drive would be specified, but you still need to specify
a partition.
