What I always do in the case of a 1gig drive is just make a swap partition
of some reasonable size and make the rest of the drive /.
I let BSD take care of that.  The one thing is that if you're going to run
user quotas you can't run them on the / filesystem.  The server goes nuts..
(haha I've done it before)
