[aklug] Quick tip to find a partition in a drive image and loopback mount it using the byte offset.

Somebody asked me about this earlier today so I made a video.. now I'm not
letting it go to waste. :)

To build on this.. there used to be a loopback module that grokked
partitions. I'm not sure if that's still a thing. I know there have been
a few attempts to make this doable.

One thing I noticed was that the network block driver supports partitions
just fine now. Shows how long it's been since I've really used it for
anything. I've used this for accessing partitions a bit more automagically.

There's also iscsi.. and ataoe :) Both of those can present partition maps
to the host operating system.
