Hmm... Which manual said that? - I'm not familiar with it... You probably won't be able to move the /var directory - certainly not on a system that's not running single user (at the 'boot:' prompt put '-s' then hit enter)... Even if the system is running multi-user - you might run into problems later with a moved 'var' directory... Shot in the dark: It didn't mention anything about 'linking' the /var directory to '/usr/var' or anything? I've not heard of doing this before...
