I think you might be missing a little something in there, like /boot?
/boot is not required to be its own partition. In the days of yore,
when BIOSes couldn't boot from partitions the crossed the 1024 cylinder
barrier, it made sense to have a small /boot as your first partition.
These days? Not so much.
There are still good reasons to keep it separate. For example you may
want / on something grub doesn't understand like LVM or raid (raid1 can
pretend it isn't, but other levels won't work. Or you may want to move
your / to a drive other than the one that boots.
