In Disk Utility, I could only see the one partition, and "diskutil" in Terminal only showed the one partition. I assumed the other partitions were hidden, but apparently, Kobo only allows one partition to be exposed to the OS, which I think is what you were trying to tell me.

I believe that I figured out these steps when I had my Clara SD card out (which would have bypassed Kobo's filter), but then forgot that step because of all the drama my Elipsa put me through. I'll make the necessary corrections. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
