One more thing....

When I re-did my garage, I built a wall dividing the space. I did just like you are planning on doing. The base plate was layed on the ground and a wall built on top. This was extremely solid and did not move (without using any concrete bolts).

However, about a month later, the wall moved if I touched it because the 2x4's shrank a tad...Therefore, you definately want to bolt down the sill plate. You can also use construction caulk which you put a bead down before laying down the sill plate. This will create a barier and prevent water from making it's way from outside to inside.
