I have updated my SS2 to 5.1 RC3.  The root partition (/) takes 51MB and /usr
takes 442MB.  I also have /usr/pkg with 531MB used (131 packages).  So, your
1GB for boot and system might be a bit tight if you install lots of packages.
You could shrink that to 750MB and add 500-750MB for /usr/pkg.

Thanks,
