I'm not so sure about the minsize for /
/boot is not too unlikely to end up on a separate partition (ie. if  
the BIOS has trouble accessing / or the system was set up with ZFS as  
rootfs before zfsloader) and the rest would fit just fine in 128MB:

1.0M    bin
1.9M    etc
6.8M    lib
482K    libexec
4.2M    rescue
4.9M    sbin

But maybe it's just me..
