If the image is a virtual disk, you need to skip to the first sector of
the partition:

losetup /dev/loop0 /foo/bar/myimage
sfdisk -l /dev/loop0 # get the start sector of the partition.

The first partition on the first sector of the second track. With 63
sectors per track, the offset is 63 * 512 = 32256.

# example:
losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop0
# now mount the first partition of the virtual disk
mount /dev/loop1 /mnt/old

Be carefull with "tar <options> *" as it skips hidden files in the root
directory. Better is to use "tar <options> ."
