Try this
in the vi mode, type : then the below line. If you have multiple lines with usr/home which needs to be changed, use g at the end else just skip it.
this should work fine.

<:%s/\/usr\/home/\/root/g>

resmerger

RESMERGER(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					      RESMERGER(1)

NAME

     /usr/bin/ResMerger -- Merges resource forks or files into one resource file

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/bin/ResMerger [-fileCreator <fileCreator>] [-fileType <fileType>] [-[a]ppend] [-srcIs RSRC | DF] [-dstIs RSRC | DF] file ... -o
			<dest-file>

DESCRIPTION

     The /usr/bin/ResMerger command merges the Carbon Resource Manager resource data in multiple files into a single file.  The output file may be
     one of the input files.

     The /usr/bin/ResMerger command takes the following flags and arguments:

     -fileCreator <fileCreator>
		   Sets the HFS creator type of the output file.  The default is '????'.

     -fileType <fileType>
		   Sets the HFS file type of the output file.  The default is '????'.

     -[a]ppend	   Append to output file, rather than overwriting it.

     -srcIs RSRC | DF
		   The fork in which to look for resources in the input file(s).  The default is the data fork (DF).

     -dstIs RSRC | DF
		   The fork in which to write resources in the output file.  The default is the data fork (DF).

     -skip <type>  Specifies resource type to skip during the resource merge. May be used multiple times, to specify multiple resource types to
		   skip.

     file	   Specifies one or more input files.  Note that as there is only one srcIs flag, the input files must be homogenous, that is, the
		   resources must be in the same fork of all input files.

     -o <dest-file>
		   Specifies the output file.  If the fork designated by -dstIs exists, it is overwritten unless the -a flag is provided; if it
		   does not exist, it is created.
