This is just an advice. You can create any partition layout you like.

Yes.

My advice would be to create two partitions (primary or logical): the first
for /boot, the second for everything else, then use EVMS or LVM to create
real logical volumes for /usr, /opt, /var, swap, ... in the second
partition.

If you don't like initrd's, then create a third partition for /.

HTH...
