I agree that it is not nice but we can't support this scenario.
It's nearly impossible to find the disk with /var partition after is has been
renamed. There is almost no connection between the old and the new disk name.
The only possibility seem to be:
1.) Boot the old system
2.) Run partitioner (yast2 disk)
3.) Change the mounting method from "device name" to "label", "device ID" or
just anything else than "device name" (hda6=var)
See also this SDB article:

The update code, of course, mounts all the partitions and can also works with a
separate /var partition however it doesn't work with more disks. Something can
be done for 11.0.
