Well, my usual setup (On a 1GB drive) goes like this:

/           100MB sd0a
swap        100MB sd0b
/usr        500MB sd0e
/usr/homes  300MB sd0f

So on the 540MB drive I would put maybe 150MB of swap and the rest as
/usr/homes. Then make the 1.6GB drive somthing like:

/usr        500MB
/var        300MB or more if you plan to take a lot of news
/usr/source 500MB (Use this for compiling kernels and packages)
/store      300MB (This for storing .tgz files and backups).

Ive found that 100MB of swap can be easily used if you are running
netscape and a few compiling sessions on a fairly active system.
