Why just:
/dev/hda1 = 30M ; for root
/dev/hda2 = 128M ; for swap
/dev/hda3 = everything else (ext partition, then break this down into
/var, /tmp, /home, /usr, etc
/dev/hda4 = 50M ; for a small dos
You don't need that much for the root, and thats the partition you want to
protect.

By definition, when you are investigating the unknown, you do not
know what you will find or even when you have found it.
