Unless Fedora Core 3 uses hotplug or a similar mechanism (I don't know),
you should be able to:

1. Create directories for your HD's in the /media directory; one
directory per disk.

2. Add a line to /etc/fstab for each HD, if such a line does not already
exist.  If, for example, you want to mount /dev/hdb1 to /media/dos, you
would add something like:

/dev/hdb1	/media/dos	vfat	defaults,noauto	0 0

(Look up the "fstab" man page for more information.)

3. Mount the drive.  Given the previous example, this command would look
like:

mount /media/dos
OR
mount /dev/hdb1


Now navigate to the appropriate directory within /media and see if it
worked.

You can get there from here, but why on earth would you want to?
