I have a CF device, which looks like IDE. I want to put a plan9 partition
on it and then have an nvram section on the Plan 9 partition. I have to
write the CF from linux. Is there some simple way to do the equivalent of
disk/prep on a file and create a 16 MB image which I can dd onto the CF?

You could use the undocumented aux/disksim:
aux/disksim
echo geometry 32768 512 0 0 0 >/dev/sdXX/ctl
and then configure /dev/sdXX as you want, and then
copy /dev/sdXX/data once you're done.
I just fixed a bug and updated sources, so you need to
pull a new one.
