this one's easy.  unlike the braindamage in linux, plan 9
allows you to partition the drive when and if you wish.
the kernel doesn't have partition table reading software.
you have to partition this disk with

	d=/dev/sdU6.0
	disk/fdisk -p $d/data>$d/ctl
	for(i in $d/plan9*)
		disk/prep -p $i>$d/ctl
this is all distilled into a script diskparts  (sic.).
