you must have missed the first few lines of the man page

          disk/mkfs [-aprvxU] [-d root] [-n name] [-s source] [-u
          users] [-z n] proto ...

          disk/mkext [-d name] [-u] [-h] [-v] [-x] [-T] file ...

this means mkfs is in /bin/disk plan 9 uses subdirectories
in /bin.  actually in the fs, mkfs is in the directory
/$objtype/bin/disk/
