Well for several years now you've been able to omit directly specifying
the loop device used when passed to mount, and can let mount find a device
for you.  But I guess this magic hangs devfsd in the 2.6 kernels now.
Ah well.

I tried it doing it "manually" and it worked, so I'll just have to remember
to keep track of my /dev/loopX devices myself again, until the switch to
udev or whatever is made...
