Good advice.

The OP should also try to put /var, /tmp on separate partitions.
If /var is on a separate fs, you can limit the damage caused by
a bad app thats rapidly filling up /var/log/.

The FreeBSD handbook provides good reading on why/how to
partition:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/configtuning-initial.html

I typically put /, /usr. /tmp, /var, /home, /data on separate partitions.
