Thanks, I'll take a look at that.

This is a Xen image if that matters:


# losetup /dev/loop0 test.img
# fdisk -ul /dev/loop0

Disk /dev/loop0: 5242 MB, 5242880000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 637 cylinders, total 10240000 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

      Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/loop0p1   *          63      208844      104391   83  Linux
/dev/loop0p2          208845    10233404     5012280   8e  Linux LVM

I can lomount partition 1 and it is /boot. There aren't any such devices
as /dev/loop0p1 and /dev/loop0p2, so I presume this is just something
about how fdisk displays it.
