[tech] New disk is in mussel

I've copied everything over to the new disk, the old 4Gb disk 
is still available on /mnt/old. We're using the 4Gb SCSI disk 
as the boot disk still (just for the boot sector) as the BIOS 
can't talk to a 120Gb IDE disk without being flashed.

The root partition is on the IDE disk though.

The huge amount of free space is mounted on /space, and should 
probably get /tmp style permissions at some point.

It gets relatively sucky performance (15Mb/sec reads, as opposed 
to the roughly 35Mb/sec reads I get at home) because of the IDE 
controller. We should put something nicer (ATA66 or 100) at some 
point.

Cheers,
Grahame
