i'm sure it could be done (maybe needing some hacks[1]) using initrd,
but the question is: why? this seems like a Bad Way to do things...
if you want to make more partitions, partition off /lib, or /usr/local,
or find the hot places for your distribution that could stand to have
themselves partitioned off (e.g., /var/cache in debian).

[1] the script that says to mount other filesystems is run after init
is started, after /etc/inittab[2] is sourced, and itself lives in /etc....
[2] assuming you're using sysv based init, a similar principle applies
to bsd-style init.
