  I don't know about forcing the install, but you can mount the second
partition as /misc and then...

  login as root
  mv /home /misc
  ln -s /misc/home /home

What's really nice is that if/when you upgrade/re-install, you can...

  re-format the OS partition
  install the OS
  login as root
  rm -r /home
  ln -s /misc/home /home

...and you're off and running with your new linux version, and your data
hasn't been touched.  This algorith is something I learned back in my
Windows days, when I seemed to be re-installing every month or so.
