The installation won't write into /home, so don't create a partition
for it during installation.  Post-installation you can create the
/home partition on drive 2, put a filesystem on it and add it to
/etc/fstab.

Similarly with swap: you don't need to create a swap partition during
the install, and you can add the swap partition on the third disk
afterwards and add it to /etc/fstab.

If you wanted to spread /var and /usr around it would be harder, but
/home and swap are easy.
