oseemann covered the OpenBSD security features that Ladislav somehow
missed, but one other thing missed is that OpenBSD actually does give a
recommended partitioning scheme.

The 3.5 CD insert says that for i386, the filesystems should be at least
this big:
60MB /
250MB /usr
200MB /var
85MB /usr/X11R6
(Other architectures are also listed.)

The install instructions include this example partition scheme:
a: 80M /
b: 300M swap
d: 80M /tmp
e: 80M /var
g: 2G /usr
h: 111G /home (rest of disk)
