Its tough to replace that small strip of subfloor underneath the wall. What many have done is cut the subfloor as flush as possible to the base of the wall, and add some blocking underneath to give something to screw to. Then lay down plywood and screw the plywood to the blocking underneath.
If you are unsure of what to do, there are some great youtube videos on how it can be done.

Tip your bartender.....
You can sister up a 2x to the rim joist and fasten the subfloor to that, or if you really feel like it you can grab a chisel and dig out the old floor. Either way works.
