More-or-less exactly. I suggest you buy a linux/unix book. You *need* to know 
and understand what you are doing.

1. Get rid of /home - dump it somewhere
2. Copy the boot partition
# telinit 1
# sync; sleep 10; dd if=/dev/hda6 of=/dev/hda7
3. Edit your bootloader so that the kernel knows that the root is /dev/hda7 
# vi /etc/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf
4. Reboot
5. Fix and restore
# reiserfsck -V
Make sure it's 3.6.2 or newer
# reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/hda6
# vi /etc/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf
-- restore the kernel's root
6. Reboot
7. Redo filesystem on home
# mkreiserfs /dev/hda7
7. Restore your /home partition
