Why not do

/
swap
/var
/usr

and maybe symlink /home to /usr/home?

I used to split disks into little partitions. Then one day, I asked
myself "why" and I stopped. It makes no sense on a machine only you use.

Anyway, I expect after 1.3 we'll switch to 32 bit dev_t's and have 16
partitions per drive.
