HDD install

[Thufir]

I want to install Fedora to sdb.  The boot should be ext2, but what about 
the swap?  The root partition should be ext3.

For instance:  

mkfs -t ext2 -j /dev/sdb2

would format the third partition?


then, 

mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sdb0
mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sdb1

to format the boot and swap, respectively?

Once things are formatted, can I mount the filesystems and copy some 
files over from Fedora 7 to the slave, sdb ?  Or, do I have to install by 
booting a cd?


here's what I have so far:
