why can't you just put the (known) offsets in your plan9.ini like i am doing
for aoe? it's distasteful, but it does get the job done.
if you don't like that you could put fdisk and prep in your kernel
image, write a new boot method, localpart, that partitions before
it calls local. you could import the code for this from 9load.
