I'd have several notes here:

- Your "???" should be replaced by the desired mount options for fstab, so maybe
  "ro" if you want read-only access.
- Here I assuming you want to mount them at all, given you specified mount
  points; you could also replace the mount point by "-", if you don't intend to
  have them mounted.
- If these are really service partitions, preserve_always might be more
  desirable instead of preserve_reinstall. If this is the case, you can also go
  for a size of 0, setup-storage won't care much.

Hope this helps,
Michael
