But /boot only holds the kernels, initrds, and /boot/grub. How many kernels do you keep around? My /boot is 64 MB and my / is 300 MB. The kernel's modules go in /lib which is in the rootfs. > 2 make another primary partition for root, I typically make it 10G, but > you can make it a lot smaller.

Unless you're using LVM or something, you don't really need a separate /boot partition unless you have /boot, then / with everything else in it. I happen to use LVM over raid1 so I have a separate /boot. If you don't need a separate /boot, then / with /boot (with the other usual suspects off in their own partitions) will certainly fit (and is better if it does on some systems) in the first 512 MB.
