Turning off selinux allowed me get the system running. However, after running fixfiles to restore the context for /var, I still cannot boot to init 5, with the choke point now NFS statd.

If you copied a live /var over to the new partition you might have issues from stale lock files that prevent services from starting. /var/lock/subsys/nfsd comes to mind in this particular case. If the service ain't running that file shouldn't be there.

I don't think stale pid files are as troublesome but it doesn't hurt to have a look at /var/run as well.
