Yes, you can use a loop device (as you would do to mount a file
containing a cdrom iso image) with the appropriate offset (see the
losetup command). The partition table and some basic math should tell
you the right value for the offset.
[ Remember not to fiddle with hda.img while qemu is using it ].
