well the whole story is long and offtopic. but here goes; we have this SPARC computer running Solaris10. it has been running for several years 24/7 with no RAID or backup.
so we made dd image of whole 72Gb hdd. now we wish to test the image, check filesystem integrity.
first try is loopback mount in linux. but that showed only first partition and some errors.
next, converted it to .vdi and tried FreeBSD and Solaris(x86) in virtualbox.
.vdi file is a lot smaller (about 20Gb, probably due to being dynamic and hdd mostly empty)
Solaris needed devfsadm to register the image as second hdd, but after that it could not see partition table at all.
how to test it?

rump_cd9660
RUMP_CD9660(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RUMP_CD9660(8)
NAME
rump_cd9660 -- mount a cd9660 image with a userspace server
SYNOPSIS
file-system PUFFS
pseudo-device putter
rump_cd9660 [options] image mountpoint
DESCRIPTION
NOTE! This manual page describes features specific to the rump(3) file server. Please see mount_cd9660(8) for a full description of the
available command line options.
The rump_cd9660 utility can be used to mount cd9660 file systems. It uses rump(3) and p2k(3) to facilitate running the file system as a
server in userspace. As opposed to mount_cd9660(8), rump_cd9660 does not use file system code within the kernel and therefore does not
require kernel support except puffs(4). Apart from a minor speed penalty there is no downside with respect to in-kernel code.
rump_cd9660 does not require using vnconfig(8) for mounts from regular files and the file path can be passed directly as the image parameter.
In fact, the use of vnconfig(8) is discouraged, since it is unable to properly deal with images on sparse files.
In case the image contains multiple partitions, the desired partition must be indicated by appending the token ``%DISKLABEL:p%'' to the image
path. The letter ``p'' specifies the partition as obtained via disklabel(8). For example, to mount partition ``e'' from image /tmp/wd0.img,
use ``/tmp/wd0.img%DISKLABEL:e%''.
It is recommended that untrusted file system images be mounted with rump_cd9660 instead of mount_cd9660(8). Corrupt file system images com-
monly cause the file system to crash the entire kernel, but with rump_cd9660 only the userspace server process will dump core.
To use rump_cd9660 via mount(8), the flags -o rump and -t cd9660 should be given. Similarly, rump_cd9660 is used instead of mount_cd9660(8)
if ``rump'' is added to the options field of fstab(5).

HISTORY
The rump_cd9660 utility first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
