You must have noticed I like doing crazy things. At least in words! :-)
What about if I put the /etc/fstab and /etc/inittab files on the root
partition and the kernel, after booting, mounts a different partition on the
/etc directory? You couldn't update those two files after booting, unless you
temporarily unmount the /etc directory, but if security was the major concern,
maybe this technique should be considered. Maybe I'll try it at home some time.
|Other than that, there is no "right" way to do this.

Indeed. All techniques have their good and their bad sides.
|Pick a reasonable partitioning scheme and give it a shot.
|Learn from your successes and mistakes and move on.

Expecially from your mistakes, for each success there are usually many
mistakes!
