	You have two choices.  You can repartition the
	second disk into two partitions and add the 
	new partition to your fstab with /folder as its
	mount point.  Or, you can simply create a symlink:
	`mkdir /home/folder; ln -s /home/folder /folder`
	Because you're linking across partitions you are
	limited to using a symlink.  Hard links will fail
	across partitions.
