Well, you have to mount it somewhere to copy /usr to it, and you'll
presumably look at the result, so it's a self-validating process.

Dunno about Red Hat specifically, but you should have a file /etc/fstab
which is a table for devices, mount points and options.  You should be
able to substitute the new device for the old.  You shouldn't need to
change any of the scripts in /etc/rc.d.  Just edit /etc/fstab and reboot.
