so it seems my /dev/block/mmcblk0 was unwriteable, and in particular mmcblk0p1 showed up without file system showing. attempting to format it ext4 appeared to succeed, but actually failed, and writing directly to the device using echo test > /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 likewise failed. so I tried another write of the originial Verizon ROM, this time with the --repartition option to heimdall. and now, though adb shell gives me no root access, I can see that the partition is now viable, though as MSDOS:

$ mount
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0
none /acct cgroup rw,relatime,cpuacct 0 0
nodev /tmp tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0
/dev/block/stl6 /mnt/.lfs j4fs rw,relatime 0 0
tmpfs /mnt/asec tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000 0 0
none /dev/cpuctl cgroup rw,relatime,cpu 0 0
/dev/block/stl9 /system rfs rw,relatime,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /cache rfs rw,relatime,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0
