/var must be a partition, then, as it is by default. A clean way to do
this might be to comment out the entry for /var in /etc/fstab and reboot.
Then you can remove /var and create the symbolic link.

You might want to do these last two steps in a startup script so as to not
suffer problems due to the temporary lack of /var.
