Try pdisk at ftp://murphy.dyndns.org/pub/map/.

I had to resort to the OS9 version of that utility in order to blow 
away NetBSD so I could install the Panther seed on my TiBook.  The 
Panther version of the disk tools couldn't see the NetBSD (A/UX) 
partitions to change them, and the Jaguar version couldn't change 
them because it was the current boot disk.  OS9 disk tools likewise.

Not the goal to advertise on this list, but I gotta say I like the 
tool porting that was done!
