Try running 'parted -s diskimage unit B print' to see where each
partition starts/ends.

Then you could

a) extract the partition with dd to another file, which should be
mountable with mount -o loop ...

or

b) use device-mapper linear mapping to access the partition (man
dmraid).

IMHO it should work, but I'm not sure.

Please note, that 1) I've never tried that before 2)
there might be much easier solution
