Need to move parition

I'm running Caldera 3.1 WS with three scsi drives.  One drive (sdb) is 
going bad.  I moved /var from /dev/sdb4 to /var on my root partition 
(/dev/sda1) and that worked - except cups doesn't print anymore but I'll 
fix that later.

I have /home on /dev/sdb3 and need to move it somewhere else.  It won't fit 
on any partition but /dev/sda2 which is currently mounted as /usr.    I 
went to the SxS and the man pages.  Is there anyway I can copy /home to say 
/usr/home and then mount it as /home?  I tried various forms of mount and 
can't make it work.  I don't have spare partitions on this system to use 
either.  I just need to keep it running until I can get my RH 7.3 system 
delivered and installed.

My swap partition is also on the bad drive but I don't have anywhere to 
move it.

Thanks.
