Um... You can't mount /home, /tmp, /usr, and /var on hda5. You can only mount a partition at one place at a time.
You _can_ make one partition a piece for home, tmp, usr, and var and do something like: mount /dev/hda5 /home mount /dev/hda6 /usr mount /dev/hda7 /var ...I'm not sure you want to mount /tmp seperately. To be on the safe side... might want to leave that where it is.
