Yep.

Two partitions, one for / and one for swap. The disk is so small and trying
to second guess the partions will ultimately mean you get it wrong. Swap
can be 128MB and as long as / fits within the first 1024 cylinders (and I
believe all 1.2 GB disks are < 1024 cylinders), you won't have a problem.
Plus you can only have FOUR partitions, unless you divide one of the four
and make it an extended partition.
That is my opinion and how I would structure the disk.
