According to the Filesystems Supported page, the DOS support provides:

> MSDOS floppies. For PC Emulator partitions, you must use the loopback

I can't see anything in the FAQ about this, so can someone explain what
the loopback device is? There's nothing obvious in /dev, and
mount -t msdos /mnt/adfs/Win95 /mnt/pc
doesn't like the fact that the partition isn't a block device. I'm
probably being dense here, but what is the correct procedure? Also, ISTR
that there is some partition table at the start of PC card partitions - if
so, is there any way of calculating the offset that needs to be used, and
how is it used in the mount command?
Thanks,
Theo
