image=$1
part=$2
target=$3

if ! test -f $image; then
  echo $0: $image: no such disk image; exit

offset=$(parted $image unit B print | awk "{if (\$1 == $part) print \$2}")

if test "x$offset" = "x"; then

mount -o loop,offset=$offset $image $target

Loopback devices are, in general, probably a much better solution to this problem.
