also welcome.
What you want is a "bind" mount. Something like this:
/zooty/home /home none rw,bind 0 0
I use this to put /home on a bigger disk than the OS was installed on
(and recover /home from previous installs since /zooty/home hangs around).
Of course, I have no idea if something during boot might want
/var prior to even looking at the fstab, so this might not work.
