[comp.os.minix] Partitioning Recommendations

Hello,
I just purchased a new hard drive to install into my '386.  The drive
is a 125 meg IDE :-).  I plan to split it about 60meg DOS and 60meg
Minix.  On the Minix side, I will be using Minix-386.  My question
is this:  with such a large drive, I have quite a few options in
partitioning it.  ON the DOS side, I will proobably go with two
30meg partitions.  On the Minix side, I have been considering
one large partition and a very small one for the ram image or several
medium ones plus the small one.  What do you experts thing are
the pros and cons of the different choices.  Does the minix-386
stuff need to be in its own partition?
Any advice would be appreciated!!
