You'll want the WAL on its own spindle. IIRC a separate partition
on a shared disc won't give you much benefit. The idea is to keep
the disc's head from moving away for other tasks. Or so they say.
Actually, the OS partitions are normally quiet enough that it won't
make a huge difference, unless you're really hammering the database
all the time.
