FWIW, the syntax isn't the same as /etc/fstab reads
Not sure if you did that just to 'distinguish' between the 2 for us...

whoops.. I meant ... "the same as fdisk reads"

[ correction 2 ]

I see the syntax is correct anyway - after reading Douglas' post
(snippet below)


Disk /dev/loop0: 102 MB, 102400000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12 cylinders, total 200000 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/loop0p1 63 96389 48163+ 83 Linux
/dev/loop0p2 96390 192779 48195 83 Linux

Therefore, to mount each partition, I used these commands:
losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop1 test.file
losetup -o 49351690 /dev/loop2 test.file
