Can't you make the instance home relative to the start script, eg: 
../instance?

If not, you can set the instance home by passing it through to the 
startup. You'd have to fiddle I cant remember the exact syntax but you 
can use -X to set any variable eg:

runzope -X "debug-mode=on"

To have zope run in debug mode.

So in theory if you could figure out in the starting script what drive 
the starting script was run on you could pass that through to your 
instance home.
