First, create the desired directories in /data, and then:

cd /usr
ln -s /data/usr/sap sap
> /sapmnt/<SID> becomes /data/sapmnt/<SID>
mkdir /sapmnt
cd /sapmnt
ln -s /data/sapmnt/<SID> <SID>

This one will follow automatically with the first one.

The only thing I can think of is filesystem checks failing in the 
installer. I do not know whether these can cope with softlinks.

My linux testdrive minisap gave no problems, but then again, that cannot 
be compared to a full size installation.
