So here's what I ended up with.  I installed 9vx on
the machine and used that to partition the big
drive: one fairly big partition with 4 subpartitions
for the 4 arena disks already on the machine. The
p9p mirrorarenas didn't like the partition name
notation.  It calls initpart which calls parsepart
which seems to only like the numeric range notation.
But running the Plan 9 mirrorarenas in 9vx works
just fine.  So I'm pretty much where I want to be
for now.
