This is not correct.

You need to have /var/run created before anythin else...
this is only needed for some services during startup.

And yes, you have to create it if you don't have it.
Using an ubuntu chroot it actually have it...for others, it needs to be
created before hand :)

After that, you can mount /var and /var/run to whatever partition you
want.
