Thanks,
I have few questions:
1. Does it support B.10.20 and B.11.11 as well?
2.What hardware do I need (DISK, OS CD and so on)?
3. What is the estimated time to replace the disk and bring back the system?

1.  I've used this document for years on 11.11 and I think even back on 10.20, so yes.

2.  Depends on your system (for the replacement disk) and the procedure required (read the doc)

3.  Depends on how fast you work and how many bosses you have breathing down your neck - could be done in a couple of hours (without bosses) or a couple of days (with bosses).

Well says :)

Thanks a lot, I hope to solve it soon.

I'm not sure how it can be up if /var/ isn't mounted?

If you don't have a backup of /var, you can't ever patch the system.

And "can't never" is a really, really long time!!

And if they promise to bring you a beer(s) when you are done?  :-)
