If we also had working defaults for the users cdrom drive(s) and floppy drive then this would work quite well. Many users will want to install applications from cdrom. We could autodetect this at startup.

We will need a tool (maybe wineboot) to setup the initial drive config according to the machine setup. A default config file is not going to help with that anyway.
I'd say we just have a C: drive pointing to / (root). This setup is definitely the most user friendly, and the one most in the spirit of Unix (one large tree). A user of a Unix system will be most confortable with it, and it will create the least unexpected behavior.
Thinking about this, I'm not even sure why we encourage people to define drives (by having a nice UI in winecfg)... What's wrong with only a C: drive by default? Power users have regedit :)
