    I have that exact setup. This is what I used:

    /usr on an external 9 gig
    / on another external 9gig

    I used the internal hard drives for swap, /tmp and some other directories I
    use for processing scripts.
    If I can help you let me know. I did this install 2 weeks ago and should
    still remember most of the details.
