&now/something completely different:Hoshana Rabbah
• October 19, 2011 update: Hoshana ends with the letter Aleph, while Rabbah ends with the letter Hay, so, according to the rules of transliteration (such as they are), Hoshana should not be written with an H at the end, but Rabbah should be written with an H at the end.
In addition to doing seven Hoshanot, as opposed to the usual one Hoshana, and beating the aravot/willows:
• We use the the Shabbat and Yom Tov version of P’suké D’zimra, rather than the weekday (Chol) version. October 18, 2011 update (thanks to Larry Lennhoff’s comment here: We do say Mizmor L’Todah, which we usually don’t say on Shabbat or Yom Tov, but we don’t say the Shabbat and Yom Tov section starting with Nishmat Kol Chai and concluding with U-v’makalot—we continue the service again at Yishtabach.

Re Hoshana Rabba: We actually do a synthesis of the weekday and Yom Tov pesukei d'zimra. In particular, we say Mizmor L'Todah, which we don't say on Yom Tov.
Hoshanna Rabba is a last chance Yom Kippur which is why the baal Musaf wears a kittle and we say kadosh v'norah shemo as we do on YK. We also use the nusach of YK in various places.

• We use the Shabbat and Yom Tov version of Seder Hotzaat HaTorah, rather than the weekday (Chol) version.
• We recite “Adoshem, adoshem kél rachum v’chanun” as we do on Yom Tov, rather than omitting it as we would usually do during Chol HaMoed. October 2, 2008 update: I think this prayer is only recited if there’s a minyan.
• During Seder Hotzaat haTorah, we recite “kadosh V’NORAH sh’mo” (even if it's been omitted accidentally from the siddur/prayer book that you happen to be using [update October 7, 2012]!).
• The baal tefillah wears a kittel during Musaf.
• We recite the Musaf K’dushah for Yom Tov (Naarits'cha), not the one for Chol haMoed (N'kadesh).
• We sing Ein Kelokénu and Adon Olam. (Is this an optional minhag?)
• Some have the minhag to recite HaShem Ori V’Yishi for the last time of that Yamim Noraim season at the Shacharit of Hoshana Rabbah. I don’t know what the alternate custom is. October 2, 2008 update: I think the alternative custom is to recite HaShem Ori V’Yishi for the last time of that Yamim Noraim season at the Shacharit of Shemini Atzeret.
• October 18, 2011 update: I think I overhead [my husband] confirming with Cantor ___ that the Hoshanot of Sukkot and Hoshana Rabbah can only be recited if one has a minyan.
