I havn't found a way yet with Latest TC4 to install /home to /sdb.
Not too panicked as yet (pre-beta), but do hope it's an option for final.

One way that is supposed to work: choose custom partitioning,
select both drives as destinations (click once on each icon),
then proceed and assign mount points as desired.
Yes, basically, this should already work if you use custom partitioning
(to get to custom partitioning check the checkbox that says something
about 'customizing' after you select the disks you want to use). Once
you get into custom partitioning, find the partition you want to
be /home , set its mount point to /home , partition the rest of the
system however you want, and go ahead and install. It _should_ work.
Obviously as we are pre-Beta you get to keep all the corrupted bits of
your home directory if something goes wrong, that should go without
saying :)
What doesn't work at present is kind of the opposite: assigning a mount
point to an existing partition _and formatting it_. You can't do that.
But you can use an existing partition without formatting it.

Do you really want to make /home an entire drive?

As I've always done.

Possibly the "confusion" was the use of /sdb instead of /sdb1? I too have one
drive with a single partition dedicated to /home. Quite common I suspect.

If you want to make /home one big partition, /sev/sdb1,
I'm pretty sure that you can do that with anaconda's custom layout option.
If you have a filesystem that occupies an entire unpartitioned disk,
I suspect that you will have to edit /etc/fstab
after an otherwise complete install.
