 I think the following changes to nfsroot/install/scripts/install-core.sh
should do the trick:

 * In 'install()', remove 'create_var_slice' and 'create_tmp_slice' calls
 * In 'install_files()', find the line where "Fixing up /var" message is
   printed out and remove all the code starting from this line until the
   end of the function

 No guarantees, though -- never did it myself.

 It should, I remember at least one report about successful installation onto
80G drive.
