image file is itself mounted. For example, if the image file is stored on a hard drive
that it not mounted automatically when the system boots, you must mount the hard drive
before you mount an image file stored on that hard drive. Consider a hard drive named
<filename>/dev/sdb</filename> that is not automatically mounted at boot time
and which has an image file stored in a directory named
<filename>Downloads</filename> on its first partition:
