My /etc/fstab, per Gentoo's default recommendations. 
/dev/hda1               /boot           ext2            noauto,noatime  1 2 
/dev/hda5               /               reiserfs        noatime         0 1 
/dev/hda2               none            swap            sw              0 0 
/dev/hda6               /home           reiserfs        defaults,noatime 0 2 

So, for /boot it seems like a good idea, and it's nice for /home if 
you do backups, as well as /etc if that's a separate partition.
