The same settings as in daylight prior to the eclipse.  Of course that will make for a dark picture at the middle of the eclipse, but that darkness is exactly what you want to show.  Most easily done in Manual mode, with the ISO set to 200 or something, just not AutoISO.

Yeah, but a partial is like being partially pregnant.  The partial eclipses don't drop the light level enough for any drama.
