Should work.

I'm not going to say that, but
du -sh | andromeda | cyberia | kobun64
-------+-----------+---------+--------
/bin/ | 4.7M | 3.0M | 4.2M
/boot/ | 8.5M | 4.8M | 6.9M
/dev/ | 3.2M | 3.3M | 100K
/etc/ | 15M | 25M | 41M
/lib/ | 23M | 22M | 50M
/sbin/ | 4.5M | 3.5M | 3.9M
So there's not much reason to put /etc/ on a separate partition, since
you'll probably lose 25MB to round up to a cylinder boundary anyway.
I think all of the above directories belong together on a single
partition, which is possible separated from other partitions (/home/
is a very good thing to keep separate).
The installer didn't give /etc/ as a suggested mountpoint for a
partition, did it? If so, I suppose it shouldn't. It is maybe even
worth a wishlist bug: "Please ensure that root parition includes FHS
required path structures".
Cheers,
Justin
