Installing 8 using a different drive for data

I tried changing the directory in postgres.conf, but it is looking for a
PG_VERSION?
Do I need to do a dbinti or something?
I only want my data to be in the pgdata drive I want the rest in
/var/lib/pgsql/data
I actually want my wal in /wal (a different drive as well).
I have the instructions

0) backup your data
1) stop postmaster and verify.
2) cd $PGDATA; mv pg_xlog original_pg_xlog; ln -s /wal pg_xlog; cp
original_pg_xlog/* pg_xlog
3) start postmaster and confirm correct startup in log files.

Does this look like it will work for 8, do I do it from the /pgdata  folder
once II get that working or from /var/lib/pgsql/data?
