You need to create directories for /var/run and /var/lock in the filesystem
underneath /var (ie. your / filesystem). You could manually unmount /var and
create them, or you could do this:

  mount --bind / /mnt && mkdir /mnt/var/run /mnt/var/lock && umount /mnt

(That will mount / again under /mnt and let you create those directories in
the bound mount instead of having to go through all the unmounting of /var
mess.)
