[et-mgmt-tools] mounting image

[Joey Boggs]

To mount a disk image it's a little different than a regular loopback image.

- Setup a loop device to the imagefile
losetup /dev/loopX p2v-localhost_localdomain-200811061823-hda.img

- Read the partitions
kpartx -av /dev/loopX

- Mount each partition as required
mount /dev/mapper/loopXpX /MOUNTPOINT
