I'm usually creating a separate partition for /boot, since this should
make the transition to a journaled filesystem easier. It's also useful
if the BIOS can't handle large disks.
The installer (or the manual) should also point out that commercial
applications may require an /opt partition.

What happens if /var can't be mounted?
Wouldn't it be better to create an extra partition for /tmp with 20 or
30 MBytes? If /tmp can't be mounted, the system will still be able to
use the mount point on the root filesystem.
