I think it's in the menus somewhere in the disk setup application, called something like "update disk driver" (which doesn't do anything to the visible partitions at all, should just update the driver and patch partitions as needed). In this case if it needs to add a patch partition I think it uses it's own "magic" to rearrange things slightly and add the partition from available space.

Are you sure you recreated the partitions exactly as you had them?  I
suspect there is a patch partition missing if you still cannot boot,
and that drive setup.  Is there any unpartitioned space on the
drive?  Drive setup can most certainly use unpartitioned space to
create new partitions, have done it many many times.

Oops! This was intended to be in that last message as well: Just how does
one use Drive Setup to utilize unpartitioned space? All it has is an
Initialize button that lets you specify custom partitions, but it always
writes new partitions in the place of all the old ones. Is there some
kind of hidden feature (cmd-shift-opt-something) that lets it create
partitions without touching what's already there?
