On page 72 of The Complete FreeBSD book, second edition, several
end-of-installation procedures are recommended. The procedure to move
"/var" is the one giving me the problem. When I enter the commands
listed, the following takes place:

     # mkdir /usr/var   ( this works )
     # cd /var              ( this works )
     # tar cf - . | (cd /usr/var; tar xf - )     ( this works )
     # cd /                   ( this works )
     # rm -rf /var     ( I receive a message "/var Device is busy" )
     # ln -s /usr/var /var     ( does not work )

Some subsequent operations, including the boot process, display messages
that state the some file in /var cannot be found.

HELP!

Thanks in advance for your help.
