(assuming you've fdisk'd a new partition for Linux; call it /dev/hdb1)...
# mke2fs /dev/hdb1
# mkdir /mnt/tmp
# mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/tmp
# cd /local
# tar cf - * | (cd /mnt/tmp; tar xv)
This will transfer all the files in your existing /local to a new
partition. Then, edit /etc/fstab appropriately.
