Yes, you can install a 2nd hard drive.
(1) Turn off computer
(2) Install hard drive --- with the wealth of info you supplied ---
lets assume it is a 2nd SCSI-II drive.
(3) Make sure cable termination is correct.
(4) Reboot system
(5) Edit kernel config file to include the following
device sd1 at scbus0 target 1 unit 0
(6) Config and rebuild kernel and install new kernel
(7) Make sure you have the block and character devices
cd /dev ; sh MAKEDEV sd1
(8) Run disklabel to label the disk
(9) Run newfs on each partition
(10) Edit /etc/fstab to add those partitions to mount at boot up
(11) reboot
PS: You should read the man pages for disklabel(8) and newfs(8)
