I'm using a raw disk image for my DOS-VM, which I can mount with these mount-options: /home/foo/dos.img /mnt/vm auto \ rw,loop=/dev/loop0,offset=32256,noauto,user 0 0 I'm not sure if the offset is needed. But when I had the same problem a while ago, I stumpled across lomount[0], which seems to be a part of Xen. All it did with my raw DOS-image, was mounting it with the above options, so I assumed lomount redundant for my case. YMMV. Maybe for a FAT32 filesystem the options are different. If you mount an image this way, be aware that changes the guest makes are not immediately available. I'm working around that by remounting the image everytime I need a "new" file. HTH!
