There are a couple of things you could do: (none of this is automatic, sorry)
  * Use the RedBoot FIS code to scan the partition table.  There are
    virtual vector calls for doing this.  You would then have the information
    to tell JFFS2 about the partition.
  * A similar, but hard coded, version of this can be found in the Linux
    MTD layer.  A look at the linux source tree could show you how to
    find and pass the information on to JFFS2
