/etc normally has to reside in the root partition - you can, however,
create that new reiserfs partition, mount it as something else (for the
sake of discussion let us say /etc2), register the new partition in
/etc/fstab to be mounted at /etc, and do cp -r /etc/rc.* /etc2 and cp
/etc/inittab /etc2.
