Better yet - your second option:

1. 16-20 MB for /boot
2. 64-128 MB for swap (depending on RAM and disk size)
3. the rest for /

It's a rather obvious scheme and I believe it is recommended by installation
manuals. On 1024-cylinder drives, you don't even need the separate /boot
partition. I usually break up non-workstation setups though.
