mounting a dd'ed device

[crvallance at gmail.com (Colin Vallance)]

I'm pretty sure I have a blurb from Klaus Knopper in a Linux Journal sitting
at my house that explains just how to do that.  Something to do with
figuring out an offset but I don't recall the details.  I'm out of town for
some training right now so If you don't get a good answer before late Friday
let me know and I'll see if I can dig it up for you.
