Don't put an initrd on it. Create the first few partitions on
your drive at 128MB (/), 64 or 128MB (primary swap), 320MB (/var).
Leave the rest on LVM. With these three you can normally start
up and recover a damaged LVM system; if the root and primary swap
at least aren't in non-LVM storage you'll be unable to boot if
LVM fries for any reason; /var is usually a pain to loose and
doesn't grow all that much so I leave it on a partition also.
