Is this a sane partitioning scheme for testing vicibox?

No you aint, sda3 is the swap on your disk 8)
I personally prefer /boot in the same partition as root.
my /boot uses 41Mb diskspace so if you wont be installing hundreds of different kernels then you will have almost 105Gb diskspace that wont be used.
the swap partition is ok because hopefully the server wont need to swap that much,

I'd just use 4GB for swap and the rest of the hard drive as root. There's not much of a reason to separate anything unless you are using weird RAID arrays or your hard drives are too small.
