I sure wouldn't put /etc on a separate partition. The problem is that the fstab file is in /etc, so the system isn't going to know how to mount the filesystems, because it can't get at /etc/fstab until /etc is mounted, and /etc won't get mounted until it can read /etc.
Also, the /etc/inittab file is the first thing that init needs. Other than that, there is no "right" way to do this. Pick a reasonable partitioning scheme and give it a shot. Learn from your successes and mistakes and move on.
