This may be too small, especially if you don't have a seperate /var and/or
/tmp partition.

Should be OK.

1megabyte ???)
On sparc, partition c is the "whole disk" partition which covers the whole
disk, and does not have a filesystem on. It looks like partition c is
correctly set up in your partition table above.

It's up to you whether you have /var and /home on seperate partitions. If
you don't have a seperate /home partition you can symlink /usr/home to /home.
