How big do you want?

A good est. for swap is 2x physical (though this number can be something of
a holy preference). I have 20 meg w/ 9 physical.

100 meg would get you going for a root partition, but depending upon
the toys, you'll want more. My setup is ~100 Meg for my root partition,
and ~350 Meg for my USR partition. I actually have the whole instalation
in my root partition (NetBSD is much more svelte than some of the pro
UN*X's we have in lab :-)  ), with my kernel compilations, ghostscript
work, and more in the usr partition.

Naming of the root partition only matters if you have two of them.

Take care,

Bill
