A possible solution would be to use the multiboot-command line. AFAIK,
the boot_device field of the multiboot information structure is supposed
to pass this kind of partition information, but you cannot specify the
partmaps in this field, hence its interpretation is ambiguous.

p.s. This issue (with boot_device field) was discussed a bit in:
