Do you want to install from source or packages.

From packages, you can't really change the path of installation. The cleanest way I would suggest is to mount your other partition at /opt (unless your already have other things in /opt, then mount it at /opt/ros). Then the installation would reside in /opt but on the other partition. Alternately you can make a symlink to from your other partition to /opt/ros.

From source you can choose any directory you want and then set the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH accordingly.
