mounting partitions on loopback fs ?

Hi!

I dd'ed a whole harddisk into a file and set it up using losetup...

when I fdisk /dev/loop0 I can clearly see all the partitions. However I have no idea how I could mount them. Is that possible / what needs to be tweaked to make that possible ?

Regards,
Soeren.

mount -o loop filename /mountpoint
