* Drop into single user mode.
* Unmount the filesystems mounted on top of /usr.
* Unmount /usr and /tmp.
* Dump the /usr and /tmp contents to files somewhere where there's
  space, e.g., on /home:
    dump 0af /home/tmp wd0d
    dump 0af /home/usr wd0f
* Create fresh filesystems:
    newfs wd0d
    newfs wd0f
* Remount them in their new place:
    mount /dev/wd0f /tmp
    mount /dev/wd0d /usr
* Restore their content:
    cd /tmp && restore rf /home/tmp
    cd /usr && restore rf /home/usr
* Edit the /etc/fstab entries.
* Clean up:
    rm /home/tmp /home/usr /tmp/restoresymtable /usr/restoresymtable

Do not follow these instructions blindly if you do not understand
them.
