Funny.  I just got an external drive last week and did much the same thing.   
All of my non-NeXT created stuff is in /externalDrive/Local/.  No partitions,  
though.  Partitions are evil.  :-)

I've also got a full OS on each drive (2.1 external, 3.0 beta internal), and  
the links are parallel for each drive.  That is,

  /Local --> /externalDrive/Local  when I boot from the internal
  /Local is just there             when I boot from the external

Makes for weirdness with NetInfo, though....  :-)

Disclaimer:  Don't try this at home.  I'm beginning to wonder how sane it is  
myself....
