this works great for some of the partitions but not the last one.  For 
some reason the file based image of a disk thinks the cylinder number is 
* and if I try to set it to the right value, fdisk gives me error 25 and 
something about wrong ioctk.  I reboot to flush the cache in the 
kerneland it's still not set to the right number of cylinders.

The disk image was formatted inside of qemu as part of the IPCop 
installation process.  It boots up just fine, I can create files change 
files etc. no problem.

It's just one I have stopped qemu and are trying to modify files within 
the disk image, I can't mount the partition I need to change.
