why not ??
add the disk (called xxx)
#partitione it using 'format'
newfs /dev/rdsk/xxx
mount /dev/dsk/xxx on /mnt
#save /var on new disk
cd /var; tar cfb . 126k - |(cd /mnt; tar xfvp -)
umount /mnt
#umount /var if it's a mounted partition
rm -rf /var
mkdir /var
mount /dev/dsk/xxx /var
change the /var mount point in /etc/vfstab vox clamantis in deserto.
