Another possibility, which doesn't involve so much
new and confusing stuff is to temporarily add the
disk you want to look at as a 2nd disk in a virtual machine
that is working properly, then boot up that machine and
mount the 2nd disk as you normally would and poke
around in it from there.
Which is what virt-rescue does, except you don't need the
second VM or to go through the trouble of reconfiguring
the other VM.
