I neglected to mention that if you want to mount a partition other than
the first one in an image an offset may need to be specified when loop
mounting;

http://wiki.edseek.com/guide:mount_loopback

mount -o loop,offset=32256 -t ext3 /mnt0/rescued-image.img /mnt1

the same applies to non-ext3 file systems (NTFS), etc.
